Throw in the towel (original post Apr 20, 2021)

This phrase came to mind today 😶 I looked up where it came from and it’s from boxing 🥊 when the fighter couldn’t continue so their towel was thrown in the ring to end the fight. Some days feel like that with being overwhelmed and with overthinking 🤯 Things feel like they are too much and sometimes giving up is a better option instead of continuing and failing at something that doesn’t seem the right fit. Outside influences can sometimes be louder and more detrimental instead of helpful and positive. These need to be blocked out, get the blinkers on and focus! We have to ask...why did we start this? Will we really be better if we gave up? What’s the worst that can happen with trying our best and seeing what the outcome can be? It’s better to try and fail than not to try at all 👊 #try#determination #motivation #dontgiveup #finishstrong#betterdays #fighter #opportunities #challenge
