Quitting

I hate this this word but for some reason I've found myself always quitting something.  I hate to feel like I'm giving up on myself but for whatever reason I've never been good with follow through of things.  I get so many ideas and many times I will be so determined to continue with them but then, out of nowehere, I will just stop. 

This blog for example, is something I really enjoy doing but I can't seem to keep up with it.  Whether it be a hobby, a job, sometimes even paying bills (horrible I know, thankfully Dave has made me a better person in that department!)...I can never seem to commit to something fully.  Not sure if it's boredom in some cases but it's certainly something I've thought about a lot. 

When Dave and I went to pre-marital counseling, our therapist brought something up that I haven't thought of.  She proposed that maybe the reason why I quit jobs is out of fear...fear of success and/or failure and the fear of bigger responsibilites.  In that case she might have really hit the nail on the head however it still doesn't help that haven't found my "niche" in my work life....the combination of quitting and not knowing what career I should gravitate toward is sort of a recipe for disaster! 

In the past year or two I have finally become self-aware that I "quit" things.  I'm glad my therapist pointed those other things to me because it's something I can try to remedy.  I believe people can change for the better but like everything else it requires work and practice. 

Even though I haven't written a blog everyday like I originally wanted to, I'm coming back to it and for me this is progress.  Every small step will hopefully become one big change in the future. 

Anyone else have any internal struggles they'd like to share??

The only thing holding us back from being great is OURSELVES so I guess I should continue trying to be a better me!
