If It Does Not Fit . . You Must Quit!

Anyone walking this earth over the age of 25 years old should be fully aware of the OJ Simpson trial.  Johnny Cochran's famous line from the defense's closing argument was "If it does not fit . .you must acquit" when he referred to the bloody gloves that were found at the murder scene.  Not only did he say that, he also had OJ to put the gloves on . .which didn't fit!  Whether you were for or against the not guilty verdict, the bottom line is the prosecution could not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he OJ did it; therefore he was acquitted.


As I was meditating over what topic to do this week, those famous words came to me . .obviously in a different form as I thought about things in my life, past, present and future . . "If It Does Not Fit . . You Must Quit!"  I have never identified myself as a quitter and I most often go at things full force when I do them.  Then I had to realize that some things are just not meant to fit in my life and with that said I will have to quit!  When I say "things" I'm speaking in general terms because it encompasses relationships, situations, people, goals, etc.  If we do a REAL reality check in order to #findyourhappy, you will indeed see that many things do NOT fit . .so Quit!


Quit making loose excuses for things you want to hold on to that do not uplift you, promote you or intrigue you in a way that elevates you to the next level!  As a female, a mother, and a Leo quite frankly, it is my natural instinct to protect, to nurture, to support, to be a caretaker but at the end of the day I have to ask myself "self are you getting back any of those things in return?"  If the answer is an emphatic NO . . then "If It Does Not Fit . . You Must Quit!"  Throw in the towel . .take that L . .move things right along to #findyourhappy.  I have learned through therapy that MY relationship with people is MY relationship.  I can no longer vouch for others and accept the responsibility of maintaining their relationships.  IT'S NOT MINE TO DO!!  It was extremely hard for me to grasp that concept but FINALLY it happened one day.  I have to literally speak aloud to myself "this is not your relationship" in order to stay on task.  It's innate!!  I need to fix things and make sure everything and everyone is ok, otherwise it messes up my psyche . .I mean it use to!  "If It Does Not Fit . .You Must Quit!"  I had to become selfish about my own mental health in order to get to this place.  I had to be the one to let go of everyone else's drama in order to get centered.


Sometimes it's for our own mental health that we Take That L in order to survive.What are you quitting today?  Is it a relationship? Is it a job?  Is it depression?  Is it a goal?  Is it a bad habit?  Whatever it is . . "If It Does Not Fit . . You Must Quit!"


#findyourhappy


With Love
