I've noticed throughout my life I tend to quit when things get hard. I may or may not be passing this trait on to my son. Luckily the pilot does not have the same mentality as me. When D-boy rides his bike and wants to quit, I just let him. When the pilot is home, he pushes D-boy to keep going. I think that is great, especially since I'm totally ok with quitting.
When I graduated high school I went straight to college, but after 3 semesters I quit. I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life so I left and got married. Apparently I thought marriage was easier than college. 10 years after that I went back to school because I wanted to at least get a degree.
I didn't notice until recently that I only last at jobs for 2 years. My last job I knew I wanted to leave but I was happy to know that the changes that were going to be made weren't going to affect me. Our department was going to have more responsibilities, which would be hard, which means its time to quit.
Anytime I decide I want to lose weight, I usually last about 4 months. I exercise 6 times a week and eat healthy. However after 4 months I realize how much I miss good food and that I'm not losing any weight. Its hard to lose weight, eating the foods I love is much easier.
I guess it isn't really an art just a formula, Hard = time to quit
Be prepared this blog may not last either, because once it gets hard, well you know.....
