You probably know those people who eagerly start a business, but when faced with obstacles, they give it up, experience a crisis and with the same fervor start a new business, then they quit again and start again... Without achieving a satisfactory result. I propose to understand the main nodes of this problem. One of the main problems of this situation is identifying yourself with your product, activity, occupation. The long-gestating feeling that something in your activity is going wrong is transformed into the fact that you need to quit, so How do you continue to do the same thing only making things worse? But the conclusion is completely wrong! “Probably no one needs this... Well, I’m shit!” “It takes too much time, what an idiot I am for doing this, because from the very beginning it was clear that it would eat up all the time.” “I only do this... How little is this, an idiotic activity!” Probably, in order not to be a “shit” you need to stop engaging in the activity that provoked this feeling? Not really. Your job may be complete crap, but deciding whether that makes you crap is entirely your decision. Even if it’s not entirely conscious, it’s still your decision. You can call yourself Jim Carrey, whose first comedy gig was a flop, JK Rowling, whose first book was rejected 12 times, or Henry Ford, whose two previous car companies went bankrupt. You can use “shit” and other bad words. The truth is usually somewhere in the middle, but in order to weigh the pros and cons of your work, you need to do some work. More about her below. By the way, examples of success specifically in your field are a great motivator, especially if you are inspired and not compare yourself with an idol. The second and, perhaps, equally powerful influence is the uncertainty of the value of your occupation. Usually, with professional failures, your own errors. Ask yourself, “What is valuable in what I do?” does not seem possible. When answering this question, there are 2 pitfalls: underestimating what has been done and, conversely, the intolerance of honestly admitting shortcomings in your activities and your performance. What exactly do you give and how much do you get for it? These may not be very tangible things. Usually such things are called feelings. What feelings inform what you do and why you do it. What actions and lack thereof lead to beneficial or disastrous results? These are the questions that you must want to answer if you want to get out. Devaluation of what has been done. Although not every result is imperfect, it is usually not terrible. Usually something you do is and has been valuable, whether it's a photograph, hand-made soap, a medical procedure, a financial report or a business idea. And once upon a time it was quite acceptable, but at the moment it was somehow not to the consumer’s liking. Moreover, it will remain valuable if you want it to. You just need to... Don't destroy what has already been done! Neither mentally nor physically. Rather, on the contrary, notice what you have already been able to achieve. Lack of feedback or ignoring this feedback. This point is directly related to the previous one. If you don’t know how those who enjoy its benefits react to your work, then you are deprived of illumination of the path you are following. There are areas where it is even forbidden to ask this. And you ask, and one way or another you will learn a lot of new things. “Now or never!” You need to decide for yourself whether you will continue to do this or not. When you are 2 years old and your parents are creating time pressure for you, if you do not want to leave the playground “ Either we are leaving together now or you are left alone (read: you will die of hunger and loneliness)” - this is a so-so situation. The problem is that then people start creating time pressure for themselves. You cannot postpone the decision and return to it after a vacation or change of activity. We definitely need to break with this. Quickly and decisively. Error? Even some. You can’t just put off a decision or give yourself the opportunity!
