Say fuck it and leave it undone!

I have this habit of leaving meals unfinished. Some people get annoyed whenever I left a portion of meal that I can’t finish. They would blame me for wasting foods while there are hungry children in Africa. Like that thought would make me hungry more. The reason I left food unfinished is I am just full. Simple as that. I refuse to eat just for the sake of finishing it. It is not good for health.

This obsession with finishing things must be stopped. We don’t have to finish everything we started. Certain things in life are better off throwing away. If your carrier sucks, quit and start new one. If the book you are reading sucks, stop reading it. If your daily routine sucks, invent new ones. Don’t let something you hate sucking the life force out of you everyday. It’s no big deal really, just say fuck it and kick that shit out of your life forever.

Of course, it does not mean you can give up on the dream your following, the carrier you are building or the relationship you are working on. This might sound contradictory bullshit, but it is not. You can check whether you should quit or continue something by asking yourself, “Does it suck now and gonna suck in long terms?” If the answer is yes for both, just leave that crap unfinished!

Sometimes you don’t have to quit for the goal, but need to change the path towards it. You just can’t keep trying and pray for success. Following a wrong path won’t get you to your desired destination, no matter how far you travel. Doing the same approach again and again won’t yield any significant results. You have to evaluate the feedback from your efforts and correct the course accordingly. So my point is that quiting is just as important as finishing.
