Of all strategies, knowing when to quit may be the best.
No matter how ambitious we are, how hard we work, how much we try or how strong we feel about something or someone, we cannot change the "natural" course of things.
Sometimes we need no know when to quit and focus our efforts and energy on something that is actually worth it. It may not be the obvious choice, it may not happen immediately and it may take us completely by surprise...but we will know it when it's right.
It's similar to the missing piece of a puzzle: you know there is something out there that needs to make the picture complete. So you try hard to make other pieces fit in and in the end they never do. Then you try to change yourself and still nothing.
But what if instead of trying harder, we just accept that there are things we cannot change, battles we cannot win and pieces that do not fit in our lives. Forcing things never leads to anything long-lasting.
