When is it time to quit

I have never been a quitter. All my life, I have worked through
things until I solved them. I know this seems rather stubborn, but
things usually worked out for me in the end. But now I wonder, when
is it time to just give up? I have realized that some things just
don't work out and I am hurting myself too much by trying to make it
work. I have decided to learn when to quit and when to keep trying.
Well, quit is such a harsh word. Maybe I should learn to accept
things for what they are.

I speak often of Karma and life being full-circle. I am a big
believer in the whole "what comes around, goes around" philosophy. I
know this is very contrary to the whole Christian belief system. I
guess this is why I have such a hard time with religion. I do believe
that when people choose to ignore their gut instincts and make bad
decisions, it will come back and haunt them in the future.

I know this posting is rather cryptic and probably sounds like I've
been drinking again, but I haven't (yet). I just feel that sometimes
life gives us blessings in front of our face and we choose to ignore
them. I just hope that all of my decisions lately do not come back to
haunt me. And by "blessings", I don't mean the religious kind. I
think of blessings as opportunities (open doors if you will) that
would better a persons life.
