Think of work. Is the game that your employer is playing the same as you?
Your employer may be in "growth" mode because they're trying to increase valuation, is that the game you want to play?
Your employer may be in the "people first" game, but if you're in "expand increase valuation" are you in the right game?
Think of a relationship...
Your partner may be thinking of years and decades, but you might be thinking of the next 3 months?
Think of friendships...
Your friends are happy that you're close, but you might be thinking of hanging out with them as you used to when you were younger.
Think of your health...
Your mind craves fast food, but eating it won't contribute to long term health.
The ultimate question is, are you playing to win the battle? Or stay in the war?
If you and your employer, friends, partners, or your mind are not playing the same game you want to play - get out and stop playing the game.
Sticking it out a little while longer won't help; that only works when you're both playing the same game.
Quitting - strategically - is often the wisest and best choice.
Who wants to play with someone who doesn't want to play with you?
