Dr. LaDonna Says : IT'S OKAY TO QUIT !!!! (2916 hits)





1) Quit arguing with people about the same old foolishness!
-Respect their position and keep it moving!

2) Quit telling people your secrets when you know they are not going to keep them!
-And if you keep telling them, then quit getting mad when they tell your secrets!

3) Quit trying to pull people on your journey who don't want to travel with you!
-Either they believe in you and value you ...or they don't!

4) Quit complaining about things you can't and won't change!
-I am not working on being a size 6 or a model...so instead of complaining about the weight charts, I negotiated with my doctor for a "comfortable weight for me." Forget the charts! I created my own "healthy weight!"

5) Quit gossiping about other people!
-Minding our own business should be a full time job!

6) Quit blaming each other for things that in the big picture aren't going to matter 3 weeks from now!
-Talk solutions...and then implement them!

7) Quit eating things you know are not good for you!
-If you can't quit...eat smaller portions! (I know...this is hard for me too!)

8) Quit buying things when we know we can't afford them!
-If you don't have self control, then quit going to the stores!
-Quit charging things, especially when you don't NEED them!

9) Quit staying in unhealthy relationships!
-It is not okay for people to verbally or physically abuse you! So quit lying to yourself!
-It is not okay to stay in the marriage for the children! Ask them and they will tell you that they really would prefer to see you happy and that the misery you and your spouse/partner are living with is affecting them!

10) Quit letting family members rope you into the drama!
-Start telling them you don't want to hear it!
-Quit spreading the drama!
-Quit calling other relatives and telling them about your cousin or aunt! Go back to #5 - minding your own business should be enough to keep you busy!

11) Quit trying to change people! IT DOESN"T WORK!
-I am still working on this because I really see a world of possibilities for others and try to convince them to see and want differently for themselves!
-Quit cussing people out when you know that they are just being the miserable and jealous people that they are!

12) Quit the job you hate!
-Start pursuing your passion
-HINT: find the job that fuels your passion before you quit!

13) Quit volunteering for things that you aren't getting any personal fulfillment from anymore!
-Quit volunteering for things and then failing to follow through with your commitment!

14) Quit listening to the naysayers!
-Quit watching the depressing news if you are going to live in the doom and gloom of it all!

15) Quit making excuses about why you are where you are or why you can't do what you want to do!

16) Quit waiting on others to give you the answers...and start finding the answers for yourself!

If what you are doing isn't working for you...then quit it!

-Quit settling and start making your dreams a reality!
-Quit being afraid and START LIVING YOUR LIFE!

CREATE THE LIFE YOU WANT! If you want something different than what you have had in the past...you must quit doing what you have done before and DO something different! JUST QUIT IT and START DOING something to create the experience you want!

LOL I won't because you are a beautiful person and I love your posts. We need a generation of you to help these young kids because I really feel they don't have the guidance that they truly need. I would love to see a list for parents and children. You are a true goddess.

Motivational speaker, Veraunda Jackson, had it absolutely right when she said these things. I'm not too sure I feel her on the quitting the job you hate one though. If you have someone whose well-being other than your own you have to consider, that's neither the smart nor the responsible thing to do. You should at least have lined up the job you want to do before you quit the one that's keeping food on the table, food in the mouths and a roof over the heads.

In most cases, it common sensical, but I've seen and experienced those who would take that and run with it...in the WRONG direction. LOL.

I've read a lot about Veraunda and this sister is on the move and stirring up some things with her motivational speaking. Thanks for sharing this!

Blessings...

Sister,
I appreciate what your're saying here.
I included the "HINT", Find the job that fuels your passion !
I'm not suggesting anyone should immediately quit their jobs, we must give people credit for using good sence.
However, people do need to consider other options that have possibilities.
Eventually having a job you're good at and enjoy doing, makes 'Jane" a happier camper !
This blog is for growth and moving in a more positive and productive direction.Than the paths we're accustomed to venturing into.
Thanks for your comment.

Yes, Ma'am. I understand exactly where you're coming from (or where Ms. jackson was coming from, that is). I agree with your hint, but you and I both know that not everybody HAS good sense. I've experienced first-hand the ones to whom I refer.

You're right though. This blog is for growth and moving in a more positive direction. I (personally) am accustomed to venturing into that direction because it's how my mother and my grandmother raised me. I thank God for that.

Again, thanks for posting this. It sparked my interest in Ms. Jackson and what else she's had to say. I have a friend who's a motivational speaker and so because I collect quotes and such, I always research the source. I'm working a book now that includes original quotes and favorite quotes from other people. So far, I have a couple of co-worker, a couple of family members and a few random strangers with whom I've had conversations that moved or inspired me. A couple of people on here have some in there, too. I love to draw off other people because we all have something to bring to the table. I think I've gotten a morsel or two from everyone I've ever encountered on this site, present company included. ;-)

Blessings...

Yes Goddess !
Each one must teach one, thats what the nature of the timeframe we live in consist of at this present moment.
And yes, maybe perhaps some unfortunate soul that didn't have the luxury of having some things may benefit.
I also try to keep in mind that it doen't matter who does the job, long as the job gets done. ( in this case, delivering the message )
We should all think about collecting quotes, as you and I know there are alot of good ones out here.
Good luck on your book, I hope it benefits a whole lot of people.
People that does not have good sence ? Well Sister,..... all I /we can do, is help them the best we can ! Hopefully , they'll develope on their own.( God indeed does look out for babies and fools ) Lol !
For those people, we have to let God ,do God's job !
Thanks for everything you've said.
Peace and Blessings to you as well !
