Bye Bye. Fly Fly.  The art of Leaving

Winners do quit. But rather than seeing leaving as a failure, they turn their energy to the next venture… and the next, and the next. Sometimes quitting is good. It’s really important,” says Eric Barker, author of ‘Barking Up the Wrong Tree’. “There are only 24 hours in a day. If you never quit anything, you’re going to have less time for the things that really matter.”

Research shows that, sometimes, walking away from a job, relationship or even a dream can make you happier, healthier and more successful.

You may be working towards the wrong goals to begin with. Even if an ambition was once a good fit, it might not be later. After all, if we never gave up on anything we’d all still be in our first jobs and wearing nappies.

Published by Roy Stannard

I'm someone who doesn't like parameters, barriers or fences. I'll try and climb over them, burrow under them or just pretend they don't exist - until they don't. Sometimes I'll write about the mind in a poetic way, or poetry with neural undertones, or I'll proselytise endlessly about my favourite new band - or one of the old ones. My Blog will give you the keys to the kingdom. A kingdom with no borders, no expectations and, therefore, no failure.. Because I am endlessly empathetic with people, their motivation, their behaviour,their problems and their quest for knowledge, I work with the pioneering Brighton-based homeless, vulnerable women and disempowered school students charity Off The Fence Trust that has tried to redress the equality deficit for over two decades. I produce, host and promote two radio shows a week: The Whole Nine Yards Sundays 3-5pm on Mid Sussex Radio 103.8FM (www.midsussexradio.co.uk/listen) - and Lost Immortals on Mid Sussex Radio 103.8FM on Sundays 5-7pm.
