When things are going well do you quit and move on while you’re ahead?
Or do you ride it out till it’s declining or until things start going badly?
In either case, if you’re going quit, do it in a way that you’ll be proud of later. Quitting something, especially a career or passion, is emotional and disorienting. Reality gets hazy. Lots of feelings. And those feelings can easily rob you of quitting in a way that your previous work probably deserves.
It’s easy to not feel like writing a good ending…after all, you’re quitting, what do you care…But your future self will have that good ol’ 20/20 hindsight and no emotional haze. Your future self will be glad you dug deep one more time, at the very end, when you didn’t need to or want to, to wrap things up in a way you’re glad you did.
