One of the biggest misconceptions about quitting is that you can only do it if you\\u2019re miserable.\\xa0

After all, if it\\u2019s not terrible, why leave?\\xa0

Don\\u2019t be ungrateful. Other people would kill for this job.

Don\\u2019t risk all of the uncertainty, regret, and judgment.

Suck it up.\\xa0

And if these are the thoughts you\\u2019re operating under, you\\u2019re going to sabotage your own life in an attempt to have an \\u201cexcuse\\u201d to quit.\\xa0

You\\u2019ll start focusing on all the terrible things about your situation.\\xa0

You\\u2019ll complain about it non-stop to your co-workers, spouse, friends\\u2026hell, anyone who will listen.

You\\u2019ll refuse to find ways to be happy exactly where you are.\\xa0\\xa0

You\\u2019ll start snowballing everything that is wrong in order to justify leaving.\\xa0

Here\\u2019s the truth: You don\\u2019t need any justification.\\xa0

You get to quit just because you want to.\\xa0

Even if everything is ok.

Because you want growth.\\xa0

Because you want new adventures.\\xa0

Because you want to try something else.\\xa0

In fact, that is the BEST place to quit from.

Because you\\u2019re not doing it out of desperation.\\xa0

Because you know you could be happy either way.

Because you\\u2019re not waiting for some new circumstance to make you happy (spoiler alert: it never will long term)\\xa0

So if you\\u2019re putting off your own happiness because of the hope of changing your situation, stop.\\xa0

Make yourself happy exactly where you are.

And then decide to quit because you want to.\\xa0

This week on the podcast I go more in-depth about how to view quitting so you can still be happy where you are.
