Grit

Grit is often celebrated as a positive character trait. Bite the bullet and endure hardship for success. I have a history of this kind of grit and I am applauded for it. I just learned recently that grit is not necessarily a good trait, especially when I don't know how to give up. Sometimes, the universe does not align, and certain things are not worth pushing for. I should know better than to put all my might into making things work instead of letting them fall apart. 

When do you give up? Isn't that a crazy question to ask? Shouldn't it be easier to give up than to push forward with things? Maybe I should have some grit in learning how to give up and let go. Maybe I should trust my intuition. Things that don't feel right don't feel right for a reason, and there's no need to force myself to feel any other way or push myself to go through with things I made a decision on if it doesn't align with me anymore. I should've been taught how to fail properly.
