Don't give up
Brother Gregory argues that if your life (consistently) isn’t working for you, it’s (likely) because when things get tough, you give up.
Minus a few important caveats, that’s probably true.
And fortunate too, because it means that everyone can change their circumstances by implementing at least one of two workarounds:
Never give up/commit to persist/keep going.
Find a support system that doesn’t let you quit.
Opting out (of what’s difficult) sure feels easier (in the short-term). But it’s not very empowering or fruitful in the long-term.
