Know when to fold....
The Kenny Rogers classic song has a very meaningful message. Be aware of the situation and if necessary, cut your losses and try again. That is a powerful message for people like me. I was always taught not to quit. I am stubborn and I like to go all in once I choose a path. However, sometimes I have found that the path I chose was a dead end, and yet I kept going hoping to be wrong.
Life experience has been a great teacher. I was faced with a decision earlier this week that will have a meaningful impact on my income over the next few months. One of the jobs I added in order to catch up my finances was becoming more of an obstacle than a blessing. In the past I probably would have compromised my performance in my main job to incorporate the second, admittedly inferior, one. I decided to just let go of the second job before it became a bigger burden. While I don't know yet if this was the right decision, I am at least confident that I will have more freedom to move should the situation become more challenging. I'm hoping for the best.
I'll keep you guys updated. Until next time.
Nothing is impossible, the word itself says "I'm possible!"
Thanks
