The art of saying “I’m done”.

Recently I realized that we live in a world where a clear understanding of your true “I want” is limited by how far you’re willing to go with “I’m done.”
Every fundamental process comes with difficulties. And if you set aside perseverance and the desire to achieve, what’s left is the phrase “I’m done.” And where repeating that phrase regularly leads you is a measure of your readiness for real success and harmony in life.

Because what happens to a person’s life after they say that phrase determines what awaits them – success or the abyss.

I had a friend. When everything goes off plan, he says, “I’m done.”
After that, he gets the urge to go to another country, club with girls, and drink alcohol until he temporarily blacks out.

I had another friend. When everything goes off plan, he says, “I’m done.”
After that, he wants to go on stage – preferably at a huge forum – tell everyone about the injustice of this world, and return to life with social approval.

And then there’s me. I say “I’m done” very rarely. Unlike my two friends I mentioned, they’ve never heard that phrase from me. My persistence is, in places, unhealthy — definitely obsessive, strongly pronounced, and convincing.

But when I say it, I put myself in an even more challenging situation than previously and find a way to fight the challenge facing it. So “I’m done” for me means “I am weak, I have to do 10 times more work to forget about my weakness.” And this also leads me somewhere. In most cases, it leads me to new results I could not have imagined before.

So:
Try to see how you act when you’re over something. What actions does it lead you to?
Find your own “I’m done” and, if it creates something meaningful, repeat it. If you’re something like my first friend I mentioned, idk, try to work on it or something 🙂

See ya!
