40 Walk Away Quotes: For when the Time Has Come to Finally Leave

When is it time to walk away? And when do we stick around and stay (or even fight it out)?Everyone has to make decisions like these from time to time. It might be a disappointing or frustrating job, relationship, or business partnership. Our ‘will to continue’, to see things through – is absolutely vital for developing good character and staying power.

When we take FULL responsibility for our life’s outcomes and don’t put the blame on others, sometimes we might have to think about finally letting things go and moving on.

So when DO we walk away? When DO we quit, give up or back out? When people ask me this – I always recommend taking out a pen and paper and listing ‘everything for staying’ and ‘everything for leaving’. Then think about ‘future you’. Will you be happier? More fulfilled? In better balance? Only you can answer these questions. One things for sure – you should never quit just because it’s tough. As the famous quote goes – ‘don’t wish things were easier, wish YOU were better’.

So, it comes down to thinking about your long term future… if you’re going to get into a bar fight or a verbal fight – walk away and cool down (nothing good can come of that). But if you’re walking away from a marriage, or a job, or something else important… stop and think and weigh things up. And think of your future self – will that person thank you for walking away? If so – then you might then know what to do.
