Quitting? Or Quilting?
The quote is about quitting, but I guess it applies to both, Lori! 😀
Expound on quitting. I guess quitting is simply not in my vocabulary! But quilting IS! I can honestly say I don’t get this quote. What is your spin on this?
I guess it could apply to a lot of things (relationships, jobs, hobbies, thoughts, lifestyles, etc), but I think it struck a chord with me in regards to decorating or staging a room for a magazine photo shoot. At a certain point, you’ve just got to QUIT pulling things in, up, down and around and decide what’s going to stay in the frame, and what’s going to stay out! 😀
At first, I was a little confused by this but the more I thought about it, I could see it. For me, I think it could apply to life in general. I should thing about “Quiting” the act of overfilling my calendar.Thanks!
My understanding is that there are so many things that look okay in our lives but we know they are not okay. they draw us back and hinder progress. We need to let them go, we need to quit so that we can be able to progress.
Ah, as in editing. OK. I don’t quit. But I do edit! Just enough and not too much.
This quote made me think of one of my favorite definitions of sacrifice (sorry I don’t know the source)…
“Sacrifice: Giving up what no longer works to stay close to what is sacred.”
Thank you for your posts, Layla
