We limit our success by not knowing when to “let go” March 26, 2017

In our personal development efforts, not knowing when to let go can hurt us in two major ways – one of them surprising.

The first is in not knowing when to abandon a hopeless project, a lost cause.

The predictable result is wasted time and energy that could better be spent on a new concept, product, or service.

But sticking with a project too long can also hurt our personal growth progress when we work on it too long in a quest for perfection.

This often results in totally killing the verve, edge, and freshness that may be inherent in the project.

We are better off limiting the “improvement” process, then letting go of our project and sending it to make its way in the world.

As someone who is interested, and probably becoming actively engaged, in a program of personal development, you are already exhibiting some key success traits:

You are trying to establish specific goals

You are working on reducing doubts about yourself

You want to develop a bias for action

You want to move beyond your comfort zone

You’re working on not procrastinating

You are engaging in self-learning

So, even now, you’re ahead of many people whose negative habits are impeding their path to progress, perhaps without their realizing these limitations.

The stimulus for this post came from an article you might want to read in entrepreneur.com titled “18 destructive habits holding you back from success”
