I read Donald Miller's book a while; I definitely need to re-read that chapter. I don't want to quit, and I'm believing that I will persevere. But thanks for the reminder that everybody hits "the middle", but that doesn't make it okay to give up!

It's definitely a lot harder to regain momentum once you've lost it. I loved how you said that you had many opportunities 'to practice “not quitting.” ' Never heard it put that way before.

We all at one point or another feel like the 'grass is greener on the other side.' But, if we stay on our current path, even through the rough patches, we learn in retrospect that the rough patches actually 'made' the journey worthwhile. In fact, my experience has been that the rough patches provided me with the resources needed to get to the other side. And, they will prove beneficial for future chapters in life. Thanks, Michael. Good thoughts.

Any decision or situation that has that kind of impact is worthy of tenacity. Sadly, our society is locked into a 30-second warp. If we don't get results in 30-seconds or less our ADHD kicks in and we're off to another race.

When I am too focused on the goal of where I want to be, I forget to notice that God wants me to pay more attention to the journey towards the goal. The journey itself...is where He lives in me the most abundantly, transforming me as I rely on Him. So in the midst of a struggle that I desperately want to be over, I am trying to live for and appreciate this very moment of time on that journey. I am learning, albeit slowly and stubbornly, that there is value even in a journey with the pebbles of disappointments & failures in my shoes. Some are given the great gift of heart to be a marathoner whereas some are short-distance sprinters. Though both finish their appointed race, I suspect the joy at the end of the marathoner’s race is so much deeper. Thank you for being such a strong resource of new and insightful perspective.

I think the most important factor should be your prayer life - "Lord, is this your will for me?" and if so, "Lord, show me what needs to change." Sometimes we need His redirection, sometimes just the comfort of knowing he is there with us. Cling to his promises. Test the spiritual source of your frustration. And know that if it's God's will, quitting isn't always bad. I followed God to leave the corporate world and start a Christian ministry; it has been one of the best decisions of my entire life.

I think the most important factor should be your prayer life – "Lord, is this your will for me?" and if so, "Lord, show me what needs to change." Sometimes we need His redirection, sometimes just the comfort of knowing he is there with us. Cling to his promises. Test the spiritual source of your frustration.
