Quitting is a choice
Page 62. Quitting is a choice. And it is never plan a. Failure becomes inevitable the moment it is embraced as a possibility. Once you have a Plan B, plan a goes out the window.
— from Decisions & Choices (Decision/Choice/Focus/Forethought/Consequences)
In the book
There are honest ways to break the freeze: picture the benefits vividly, plan yourself a small reward, deliberately amplify the downside of not acting, and ask why you are stalling five times until you hit the real reason. And be careful what you let yourself call an option, because quitting is a choice too — and it should never be plan A. The second is judging a decision by its outcome. This one is subtle and vital. — Decisions & Choices (Decision/Choice/Focus/Forethought/Consequences)
