Sometimes you have to just walk away.

We all hate to fail, hate to give up, hate to give in.

We love the challenge of life and want to keep on until whatever

we are trying to win has been overcome, vanquished, beaten, won.

But sometimes it just ain’t going to happen and we need to learn

to recognize those moments, learn how to philosophically shrug

and walk away with our pride intact and our dignity high.

Sometimes you really want to do something, but it is unrealistic.

Instead of knocking yourself out, cultivate the art of knowing when

to walk away and you’ll find it a lot less stressful.

If a relationship is coming to its end, instead of playing out long and

complicated – and potentially hurtful – end games,

learn the art of walking away.

If it’s dead, don’t go digging it up five minute to check if there is a pulse.

It’s dead, walk away.
