We should reflect on our quits.

I think that's very important.

If we're going to mature, if we're going to develop into a good quitter, a practiced quit.

And quitter is an interesting term.

We can explore that later if you wish.

But if we're going to get better at quitting,

If we're going to get better at anything, we have to practice it and then we have to reflect.

One of the possibilities is after time we reflect and think, that was badly done, or that was badly timed, or I could have quit this partially rather than entirely.

We could do partial quits as well.

I didn't have to give up everything.

I could have just given up part of something.

I mean, so one possibility is we think we could have done better, right?

Regret.

But the other possibility is, damn, I got that one right.

And I'm going to learn from that.

When I get into something and all of the signs are this is not working, I am not going to punish myself indefinitely out of a sense of misplaced pride or identity or messages from others.

And I learned, you know, I'm speaking for you.

I learned something important about myself and about quitting.

And I got that one right.

I think the questions are, first and foremost, why am I quitting?
