Live With It, End It, or Change It

Written by Gino Wickman | October 6, 2011

Do you have a tough decision to make?

Is there a challenge you’re currently wresting with? Let’s see if I can simplify it for you.

The reality is that you only have three choices when it comes to what you are wrestling with. You can:

● live with it,
● end it, or
● change it

This is a great lesson from my dad, who is a very successful entrepreneur and one of my greatest mentors. There are no other choices. With this understanding, you must decide which of the three it’s going to be. If you can no longer live with the issue, you have two options left: change it or end it. If you don’t have the ability, guts, or wherewithal to do one of those, then decide to live with it. Stop complaining and being frustrated.

Living with it should, however, be the last resort. Please make the tough call.
