I’ve already come this far. Maybe if I go a little further, it’ll connect.

When I realise I’ve taken the wrong road on a walk, I’m tempted to keep going a little further to see if it connects back to the right path. I want the kilometres I’ve already walked to lead somewhere.

I recognise that feeling with Instagram. I’ve spent time making videos that haven’t reached the audience I hoped for. Part of me wants to keep going because I’ve learned things I can use in the next video. Another part wants to keep going just so I can feel that all the other videos were not wasted.

Those are two different reasons to continue.

**The time you’ve spent explains why stopping hurts.** 
**The time ahead is what you’re really deciding about.**

That applies whether you’re building a business, considering the future of a relationship, pursuing a career or working towards a goal you’ve had for years. What you’ve put into it may have made continuing more worthwhile. Or it may simply have made it harder to walk away.

## The Perspective Shift

> **Persist when what you’ve learned makes another attempt worth trying. Stop when the main reason to try again is to make the previous attempts feel worth it.**

Don’t ask how much you’ve put into it. Ask what you have now that makes it worth another try.

Walk your talk,
