You dey count wetin quitting go really give you

You don dey think about quitting and you don dey count only one side of am. That one no be weakness, na how the maths dey show itself. The morning dey ordinary and clear. Time still dey here to do the correct calculation before the day start to make the decision for you by force.

A folder wey you don open and close two times. The dry sound of page wey dey turn. Somewhere kettle dey reach that noisy middle part. Light dey move for the wood the slow way e dey do before ten o'clock.

Quitting always dey look like relief because relief na the only part wey dey happen sharp sharp. The rest of the bill go come later, for different currency, na why the whole thing dey look lopsided for that moment. Wetin you go really buy na one afternoon of lightness, and wetin you go spend na every hour wey you don already invest, plus the version of next year where this thing exist. That trade go look obvious once you write am down but e no dey look obvious the time you dey make the decision, because one side dey happen now, the other own na just abstract talk.

Run the question the other way and e go easy, no go hard. Instead of you ask if you wan stop, ask wetin you go need make continuing bearable, and answer that one honestly. Most times na something smaller pass quitting: different pace, one commitment less beside am, or permission to do am badly for one month. So the real choice never be to continue as you dey or to stop, na to continue differently or stop, and that middle option na the one wey you never even calculate at all.

So today, write both columns. Wetin quitting go really give you, and wetin continuing for smaller size go cost you. Two short lists, ten minutes, then decide with the numbers dey in front of you, no be after one bad afternoon don pass.

Sometimes quitting na correct choice and na real option sha. Just make sure na decision you dey make, no be surrender, and make you make am one morning like this one, no be night like the last one.
