I’m not taking about giving up on life altogether. That’s the ultimate giving up that we do not want to reach, and exactly why we need to learn to give up in other aspect of our lives.
Like…
- Giving up on certain people (especially toxic ones)
- Giving up our perfectionist tendencies, or self-damaging expectations and standards
- Giving up the possibility that things will get better(giving up control on things you cannot control)—accept things, move on and start anew (NOTE: you will get better. The situation itself may not, but YOU will be better)
- Giving up on pleasing people, and do something for ourselves—make it clear in our gut that it’s what we want to do
- Giving up the masks we wear, pretending to be strong when we know we’re not—acknowledge our weakness and fragility while seeing our strength in vulnerability
- Giving up aspirations in your current workplace, the would’ve could’ve beens
- Giving up old dreams to make room for the new. Or perhaps giving up regrets and worries, and trying something you’ve never done before (trying another way to your dreams even)
There are just some things that are not worth the fight. Our very own lives, on the other hand, are always worth fighting for. So we give up on the lesser things that matter in life, for us.
“Winners quit all the time — they just quit the right stuff at the right time.”
To those going through a difficult time right now because of this pandemic, please know that you are not alone, never alone in your fight. You may not believe in God, but that Higher Power is with you, right beside you, within your soul 
And we people, kindred spirits, are here with you. We are all connected
