I'm done. That's it.
Don't hold back and, just quit.
This might be bad advice for some, but I think it's working quite well for me.
Sometimes, not being stuck in your mind and listening to your gut works. Just quit, and let the rest work for you.
During Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, we must abstain from eating, drinking, gossiping and bad habits to replenish our mind and body. So many of us wait for Ramadan to come around because we know, and are forced to quit. We are self-reflecting to feel a deeper connection within ourselves and with God. To think about the less fortunate and not ourselves. For 30 days, we relearn the art of quitting, finding unique beauty in this process and sometimes we need a reminder of this.
That's the beauty of Ramadan—it comes every year, reminding us of our humanity. We make mistakes, but we also learn when to quit. Ramadan serves as a powerful reminder, encouraging us to apply these lessons to our daily lives.
When I say I am ready to quit, I mean I'm ready to silence the overthinking voice inside my head that holds me back. Quitting can be terrifying. We become so accustomed to certain feelings that we forget what life would be like without them. The prospect of change can be daunting, whether it involves a job, smoking, food, relationships, or any other aspect of life. It's easy to imagine the worst possible scenario just as you’re about to make a significant change. This is normal. It’s at these moments that we must question and reason with ourselves, weighing the evidence against those voices. Quitting can lead to happiness, a heavy weight off your chest, allowing you to breathe again. It will enable you to move forward, and putting yourself first is the best growth.
However, you take this, wherever it works for you and if this is the sign you need, I hope it helped because it helped me too.
