I give up when not giving up becomes impractical. When not giving up doesn’t benefit me or anyone else, it is time to give up. Accepting failure and weakness is a step toward maturity and a step toward self acceptance. To never give up means you have to control the outcome of everything in your life, and that is foolishness.
When I gave up being “perfect” I gain contentment.
When I gave up control, stress left too.
When I gave up looking at the past, I began to smile more at the future.
When I gave up having to be right, I learned a whole lot I didn’t really know.
When I gave up having it all, I had all I wanted.
When I gave up, I found me.
