[POSTER] Duncan Nugget® #257: Giving Up vs. Getting Up


Aug


Sometimes, when it seems like you’re giving up…
You are really GETTING up and moving on.

Million-Dollar Question:
Is it time to walk away or try harder?

ACTION STEPS/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

1. Write down 1-3 areas of your life where things need to get better. (These areas can be school, employment, a relationship, an activity that you participate in, your business, etc.)

2. What aspects of these areas are YOU in control of now? (What areas can you do something about?) What areas will you be in control of in the future? Be honest with yourself!

3. For the areas that you can do something about, write down 1-3 things you can start working on that will help you make improvements in these areas.

Commit to taking action on what you wrote down…NOW.

4. For areas that you honestly believe are not under you control, write down 1-3 steps you can take to manage these situations. What steps can you take or what plan of action can you make to deal with or get out of these situations either now or in the future? What do you need to give up so that you can get up?

Commit to taking action on what you wrote down…NOW.
