Giving up is a feeling that I’ve come to recognize. From the tonne of voice down to the emotions that are left lingering from it. Giving up is a simple thing. Especially after working hard at something only for it to fall flat.

This past month, it felt kind of like that for me. Writing several articles for myself and for clients. It all culminated to the emotions I had after a conversation with a fellow entrepreneur.

Uncertainty about what lays ahead.

Some optimism about my own decisions, but doubt also festering on whether that optimism is delusional, or realistic.

It’s these kinds of emotions for me that lead me down the path of contemplation on my decisions. Whether they are right or the best ones to be making right now. And ultimately whether I should be giving something up.

And no doubt, you’re in that sort of state, if only a little.

In those circumstances, here is how I’ve learned to handle these kinds of emotions.
