Your gut vs. your thoughts

The Daily Drip
One of my weaknesses is quitting.
I quit too late.
I don't quit enough.
I haven't clarified the criteria for quitting.
For most people, the hard part of doing something big is starting. Once you've mastered that, you can get yourself into a pretty full schedule of work.
The next skill required is learning what is worth pursuing and what isn't.
I haven't been able to explain this by using logic, but the more I listen to my gut, the easier it gets.
The way we feel about certain projects or tasks tells us a lot about ourselves. I'm not saying every task or project has to feel like the best, most amazing and fulfilling project ever, but if I'm working on something that I feel I should be working on for several years or the rest of my life and I start noticing that I hate it--I need to do something differently.
Listening to your gut will help you uncover what you actually value instead of what you think you value.
Yes, thinking and feeling are two different systems in your brain. They're related and they influence each other, but they are different circuits and your conscious brain doesn't always know what's going on under the hood.
Pay attention to your gut. Some days it's not going to be fun. But I know that if I have too many days in a row that I hate, something needs to change.
