Every project you start will give you moments which will make you regret walking down that path. You will definitely second guess yourself and the impact you are making. The struggle will feel unnecessary and unrewarding.
The most important thing to remember at such points is – it is always easier to do nothing.
So, the questions that follow are –
1. Do you really want to do nothing and do what is easy?
2. If not, is there another project or method that would help you achieve better long term results?
Every once a while, you’ll realize that what you’re doing is not working. That is a useful realization and there is nothing wrong in quitting for the right reasons.
But, when the answer to the second question is no, it is just worth remembering that you signed up to make a difference. It was never meant to be easy. Maybe you’re not making the world-changing difference you envisioned. But, what you’re experiencing is making a difference to you.
And, that is definitely difference worth struggling for.
