Listen "#5 Quit or Grit - Aligning with Your True Path"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textDo you know when to keep pushing forward and when it's time to call it quits? In this episode of Just Count Me In, I tackle the age-old dilemma of perseverance versus walking away. Inspired by personal coaching experiences, we explore stories of individuals at crossroads, like one client who grapples with staying in the school system for retirement benefits or chasing her own dreams. Borrowing insights from Seth Godin's "The Dip," we unpack how quitting, contrary to popular belief, can actually be a strategic move that adds value and aligns with our true selves. This conversation is a deep dive into mixed messages of grit and letting go, encouraging listeners to align their decisions with personal evolution and integrity.Reflect on the fine line between grit and over-functioning as I share family anecdotes of resilience and the courage to pivot when necessary. From my grandmother's remarkable escape from a pogrom to my own journey through challenges, we uncover the potent mix of passion and perseverance, as defined by Angela Duckworth. Yet, the courage to quit and embrace an authentic life is equally vital. Explore how understanding your zones of confidence, excellence, and genius can guide you towards a fulfilling path. This episode is a call to action: evaluate your life through the lens of personal values, and don't be afraid to forge a path uniquely yours.Thank you for joining me!
