Often times we hold onto our jobs for too long. Sometimes it is the not-so-subtle signs you miss out on when you’re dealing with anxiety, pride or stress.
One of the most essential life skills is knowing when to leave, whether it is a job, relationship or a side hobby.
There is always a risk in making the wrong decision. If you quit too early, you’ll never know your true potential.
What would have happened if I stayed?
Every once in a while, you’ll think about what could have been if only you stuck it out a little longer. If you leave too late, you’ll live with regret and blame yourself.
How could you not see all the red flags written on the wall?
It may seem that we should rely on our intuition to guide us in these matters. But, as an anxious person, I have missed out on opportunities because I didn’t have the courage to wait for situations to unfold.
I once quit a job two months before I would have gotten promoted. I knew I was the best worker on the team and would get promoted once our department budget was approved. When it didn’t happen soon enough, my anxiety got the best of me and I quit to work for the first company that reached out to me on LinkedIn.
