8 Reasons Why Sometimes, When People Want To Quit, LET THEM!!!
I’m sure somebody’s reading that title and is like, why would he say that? Relax, there’s a backstory to that title that I’ll not delve into but what I’m going to write about is going to be some reasons why people quit, some from experience and others from carefully studying and researching causes as to why many people quit, in general, which should help us understand that title better and maybe also trigger a need for re-assessing our desire to want to “push” others, whether for better or for better.
“Sometimes, when people want to quit, let them!”
There are a couple of reasons to be considered as to why this is important and I’ll be drawing your attention to eight (8) of them, maybe you’ve thought about them, maybe not, not anybody’s fault as we’re all treading the path of learning new things daily, some are positive, others not so much, but for context, this piece is going to center on reasons why people quit processes or tasks that's supposed to enhance their career or upgrade their standard of living.
After reading this, you’ll be more aware and know when to apply the push and when not, and for those who’ve quit on something or are faced with the decision to quit on a process or task, the information contained below should help you figure out why you should or shouldn’t and make your choice, whatever it is, easier, I hope.
The feeling of inadequacy.
Most people will never feel like they measure up, they feel like they aren’t up to the task so even if they were pushed to start, that feeling would get the better part of them, which inevitably will get them to make an all too easy decision to give up. LET THEM.
They are not mentally ready for the process/tasks.
There are those people that opportunity will meet when they’re not ready, not physically, but mentally. No matter how you try to get them to evolve and take or make good use of the opportunity, their mindset will be their limitation, until they can get their minds out of the gutters, your counsel for them to hold on will fall on deaf ears and they’ll still quit. LET THEM.
They have little to no responsibility.
These guys, whom I’ve encountered a lot of times, they’re the people that are still living in their fantasies, with little or no responsibility to wake them up, so when they start on a process that’s supposed to get them to wake up to the reality of life, albeit difficult, they hate it, and this is because they have a backup, but with time, they soon learn that a little sleep, a little slumber… again. LET THEM.
Their reality is not conducive to the process/task.
These are the people that are interesting as we can't really call them quitters, this is because their reason for giving up on some things is valid and if you want to push them you’d have to pull resources, inability to do that will mean them giving up. LET THEM.
Their concept of said process is warped.
I realized that there are people who start a process without understanding what it entails and the sacrifices required to go through, grow through, and pull to, in other to get to their initially set goal, so when it gets overwhelming, they pack up and no matter the what you tell them, they can’t seem to ignite the fire that started them on that process. Hence, quitting is the next best thing with a barrage of excuses. LET THEM.
They have the advantage of time.
You have to give it to these guys, they’re young and can still afford to quit on processes because they think they have time, and for the moment, it seems as though they do, which enables them to quit on any process or task that ‘stress’ them. You can try to get them to see the folly in their choices, but at the same time that they think they have, they’ll discover, don’t have them. LET TIME.
They lack the grit essential for the process/tasks.
They’re the guys that will give you every reason to believe in them enough to give your time, resources, and effort to get them started on a process or task, and when the same is required from them when they encounter obstacles they can’t muster the strength of mind, great courage or fearlessness to surmount so quitting is their only other alternative. LET THEM.
They are lazy, nonchalant or they have other passions.
These guys come last as it’s how many ends, last, but as with many things in life, that’s not cast in stone as what you might think is the reason for their failures may just turn out to be the reason for their success, because they may be passionate about other things. They’re the people that are too lazy to allow themselves to get stressed on a process or task that doesn’t pick their interest, whether it’ll better them or not, no matter, they don’t care or are nonchalant, these guys are unpredictable so you may have a hard time trying to convince them not to quit. LET THEM.
These are some of the reasons, among many others, why people quit, and even if you try to prod them to get serious, it’ll only end up a futile venture, so letting them run off with their own choice of quitting will help them live with the aftermath of their decision, whether good or bad and possibly, learn from it.
On a side note, and this is for those who’ve had to quit on something, giving up is always an option, but not always a failure, quitting can be the right decision at the wrong time or the wrong decision at the right time, but on rare occasions, it can be the right decision at the right time.
Conclusively, experience they say is the best teacher, and for most of these people, it'll be their best teacher, with that, they can become more aware, enough to appreciate whatever process opportunity provides them.
