You are stopping you, you are giving up instead of getting hard.

You don't have to try to be good; you just need to stop pretending to be what you are not.

He who stops being better stops being good.

Let go of the thing that you’re trying to be (the noun), and focus on the actual work you need to be doing (the verb).

Stop trying to predict the direction of the stock market, the economy, interest rates, or elections.

Stop thinking, and end your problems.

Give up thinking as though not giving it up. Observe techniques as though not observing.

Stop trying to change reality by eliminating complexity.

Cease striving. Then there will be transformation.

We’ll never be good at things we have to try to be good at.

Anytime you stop striving to get better, you're bound to get worse.

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. No use being a damn fool about it.

Sometimes abandoning what you’re working on is the right move, even if you’ve already put in a lot of effort. Don’t throw good time after bad work.

I just gave up one day. Around the time the news about toxic shock came out. I thought, Fuck me, man, I give up. Come and get me.
