There is a quote around the internet: “Giving up doesn’t always mean you are weak; Sometimes it means that you are strong enough to let go” – Unknown.
That’s of course not just an excuse for giving up. Sometimes it is really important and healthy to stop trying to force the natural evolution of the universe. And it has dawned on me over the years that what is destined to happen will happen somewhat easily; and that it is sometimes inadequate to try to tweak destiny.
Still this does not mean that we should not make a sizable effort to deliver what we think we can bring to the world. It just means that sometimes we need to figure out a different way. Or let time do its work. Losing a battle but not the war.
I would thus like to tweak slightly the quote: “Giving up doesn’t always mean you are weak; Sometimes it means that you are strong enough to let go and find another way.“
