Discontinued means bravery. There is no way chasing the target when you know it cannot be reached. Sometimes having willpower to the process of chasing may put you in dire straits. Why? When you stretch too much for a target, you may cross over your boundaries and finally you lose everything. We have seen projects started with projected budgets and got delayed instead of withdrawing; the government went ahead and spent 200 to 300 times over the budgets.
Discontinue happens not because of your inability. It’s because of the feedback. If your project continues showing negative symptoms. Then your mind gives a very true signal to you to withdraw and help you to switch the project. The discontinuing is a brave decision because you stopped wasting your energy and were brave enough to encounter the crowd around to criticize you.
Struggle was the symptom for discontinuing. Listening to the struggle may transmit some useful hint why you are struggling. The struggle helps us to discontinue the project.
But, the perception of the world about “Struggle” was different..
Struggle we give to situations when we are not able to move with ease. The struggle comes when we take tomorrow’s world for granted. The less preparation for the assignment and expect something to happen beyond. Whenever we face struggle in spite of preparing well, we should convince our mind that we are playing CHESS with the situation with fewer pieces. In Macro Level, Struggle has brought a lot of innovation to this world; Struggle has drawn the attention of the world and brought new reforms.
Micro level, If someone says he is struggling, you won’t have a good opinion about him, reason. We feel sorry for his incapacity to move ahead of the challenging situation. Anyone who uses the word ‘Struggle’ does not understand the nature of functioning of the world.
The above are opinions about Struggle by behavioral economists. But it’s a waste of time to continue the process one you lose faith and the one fail to give a positive signal. Quitting is brave.
