Quitters Never Prosper

One habit that I dislike about myself is my habit of quitting. It is a very bad habit to posses and it holds me back from multiple opportunities. 
I am not sure why I have no problem partaking in this habit in the moment. Although, I usually regret the action later. I also tend to dwell on things for years, so this habit becomes very unhealthy, as well. 
It usually begins with me being interested in an activity or hobby. I then try it out or attend one meeting. When I am met with a challenge, I suddenly have the urge to discontinue. Next, I contemplate my options and their consequences, in my head. Often times I choose to quit over my other options, resulting in this reoccurring process. 
For years, until I try again or conquer that challenge, I will have a feeling of regret and remorse that stresses and strains me. My family then gives me a lecture and pep talk. This usually motivates me to try again but I usually end up doing something completely different, continuing this habit. 
I believe that there is a deeper reasoning for this horrible habit. Maybe I lack the confidence or the motivation. I am not sure. Although, I am sure about a phrase I always hear as a result of this unfortunate
habit-quitters never prosper.

  1. Nya,
    I think just identifying this as a weakness is a step in the right direction.
