Giving up of what's not working in your life is not weakness but rather a sign of strength and intelligence.

every time I gave up or quit a job or got fired, 9 times out 10 I found something better and higher paying.

Giving up is a manifestation of emotional decluttering!

One lesson I've learned is that when you let go of things and people that no longer serve you or have been draining your energy, you open yourself up to what's truly meant for you. Having gratitude for everything even if they were challenging. 💜

I'm an icu nurse that started nursing during the pandemic. This last year has been so physically, mentally, and emotionally draining, and I didnt want to quit for my patients and because I believed I could push through the hardship. But everytime I step into the icu, I see their suffering, and it affects me so deeply. I'm starting to realize that it's ok to leave the icu to pursue something kinder on my soul. So thank you for this video, it's like the universe is telling me it's ok and that I've done enough. ❤

I quit my job earlier this year. I spent years telling myself "just one more month" in toxic jobs. I love your approach and your mindset!

I’m retired after busting my butt my whole life. I do nothing now and love it. No watch or goals. Let somebody else chase that rabbit! I’m content

I had a really bad day. I felt worse, because there was no one to talk to. And then you uploaded this video and I broke down in tears. Thank you for being so honest with us and speak about these important topic! Love your videos❤

Every day we give up a day and should embrace the new day

Great message. It reminds me of a similar thought an older lady shared with me a long time ago. She said "We all want to 'win'. But what's the worst that can happen if you come last? Why is that so awful?". As a smart woman with a professional career, I struggled with that. But as I have gotten older, I have adjusted my balance from succumbing to the rat race, to taking a slower approach that protects my mental health.

Giving up is no longer a sign of cowardice and weakness as most people claim it to be but actually a courageous thing a person can do. Sometimes giving up becomes a door for greater things that we truly deserve and awaits us. Thank you for opening up stuffs like this. This is what actually people need to hear. Love all your videos and as a woman, a person ..you deeply inspires me!

I live a simple single life and I don’t feel bad about it. I don’t have much demand. I just want a good health and peace. Inner peace is very important to me.

The calmness of your voice is off the charts

I have a very small social circle, a close female friend and a female neighboring friend. They are good people. I don’t care how people perceive me. I am content with myself as a loner. Knowing how to let go of things which aren’t right for me can help me find peace.

I don’t think there’s any shame in giving up on something or someone that is likely never going to work out. Why prolong a situation that is toxic or negative just for the sake of saying you won’t give up? I think the older you get you also realize how precious time is and how quickly it passes and you don’t want to waste it. I have found this so true with relationships, ie. friends and family. Sometimes we have toxic people in our lives that aren’t going to change and it’s just healthier for us to realize this and move on. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and letting your viewers realize that this isn’t seen as a failure.😊💖🙏

Quit the ego's quest and allow Spirit to lead.

It's similar with letting go. What is yours is always yours without force.

I’m going through a very hard time and trying to find the courage to quit my past life and follow a different path. I really needed to hear these words 🤍

Thank you. I just broke up with my ex fiancée 6 weeks ago. I also lost my job and home due to COVID last December. I suffered depression and tried suicide twice last winter. Your video has helped see the wisdom in giving up and making the space for something new. Your words gave me courage. Thank you.

knowing when to give up is just as important as knowing when to continue pursuing something!! Ive definitely held onto some things too long that I should have given a long time ago!

Your voice --> 😌 Will never get enough of it

Instead of "giving up", I like to think of it as "moving on".

One thing I learned through being lonely, rejected by men and having no friends, losing so many people I thought were friends and losing so many people even from my past even old classmates, even losing people in my family as support in my forties due to smear campaigns and attacks of jealousy and competition towards me is that it’s only up to me to make my life happen for me. I can never rely on other people to make me happy or make my dreams happen. I can’t even rely on a man to stick by me. I never even made it to marriage and I’m 47. I also learned when i do great things with my talents, people get jealous and stop supporting me. It’s then when I rely on myself for making my own happiness. Also, it’s not a failure if I take a break from a path and learn a new path. I can always go back to my previous path when I feel like it. If you can make your dreams come true without the support of anyone, even when people around you try to take them away and ruin your reputation, it makes enjoying your success so much sweeter. Expect the unexpected. Thank you for this video.

I quit New York and moved back to Ireland. I've since travelled all over the world and looking forward to resume travelling next year. Fascinating video and truly inspirational and insightful.

i just got rejected from a schorlarship yesterday, something i really looked up to for only two months but really, really wanted it. i let it go last night, and now i watched this video as the affirmation that i really need.

I graduated in 2018 with a Bachelor of science in Molecular Biosciences. I got a job 3 months before graduation. Right after graduation, I was working as a research associate working on exciting projects. Late, 2019 I quit my job. I decided to become a health coach. Knowing when is time to walk away is amazing. Thank you!

I was always fighting my whole life: for a job, for money, for love. My life was hardly the easy one but I thought it's self love to fight for those things and finally get them, now I am realising it was complete opposite : luck of respect for me and feelings. I had to fall back on my knees yet again and be rejected for a job I thought I was ment to get..and now I found this channel...I know this is the universe telling me there's nothing wrong with me only I tend to choose the wrong things in life. Now I have to learn how to be ME again ..and I am sooo looking forward to it🥳

It's never giving up. It's realizing you're not on the right path so you take the off ramp to a different path.

I feel like you have so much wisdom within you, and not only the type found in books. I admire your maturity, poise and empathy! I am sure you are also a good listener! Thank you so much, this was an important message to hear.

However, sometimes in life we're trapped in situations due to commitment or responsibility. As we get older, making changes is much harder to do. Especially when kids or loved ones are involved. Freedom can certainly have it's limitations. Some are self imposed, others are simply beyond our control. I give up when and where I'm able to. Otherwise it comes down to a degree of personal sacrifice. Just a thought. Another nice vid, thanks.

When one door closes, another opens. It is a difficult to let go but an important practice. Thank you Sophie ❤️your vlogs!

Thank you Sophie ♥️ after I got really sick with covid I decided to leave my extremely unhappy job and came back to my hometown to study a MA. I did not see it as to give up, but to pick up my mental health (that really needed to rest).🧘🏻‍♀️✨

4 options: #1 you can get what you want and you are happy. #2 you can get what you want but feel unhappy. #3 you can not get what you want and yet you feel happy. #4 you can not get what you want and you feel unhappy. These 4 possibilities have one thing in common they are all temporary.

Thank you for this! The many times I stayed in a job far too long have turned me into someone I never wanted to be 😪 Working hard to find myself again.

Absolutely, giving up negative.....old thoughts, things do not serve us any longer. I used to live in Minnesota and I went to visit North Dakota!! Thank you for sharing love and peace!!

These Words of Wisdom And 2 Other Sophie Videos Have Been 3 Golden Wisdom Nuggets! For my Expanding Journey of Peace And Growing Others Purpose! Sincere Thanks For Your deligent Life Purpose Growth&True North Wisdom 😇🏁🏁😁!!

You created this video at such an interesting time of my life as I am transitioning out of a job that is not fulfilling and have found another job that is so much more aligned with my values and needs. I wholeheartedly agree with the fact that "giving up" or knowing when to move on is an opportunity to realign with your core values and opens the door for better things. Thank you for this

"Giving up something meant the start of something else" This helped so much...you said everything I used to tell myself. I lost interest in something so I quit. I felt like a loser, quitter and also a failure. But I got new interests. I had been blaming myself about quitting but this helped me a lot. I can focus more on the stuff I love and forget what I lost interest in. Thank you once again!❤️

I gave up on lots of things that were thrown at me whether it was a unwanted job, relationship, friendship or possessions. It's always an awesome feeling to let go of those negative baggages and have a fresh reset! Very heartwarming and encouraging message 🙂💓

It's hard when family can be hard and don't respect your wishes.

I've been waiting to see some new doors open since divorcing the man I was with since I was 15 1/2. It's been almost 2 years and although I was very unhappy, and don't regret doing what was needed to stop the unhappiness, I'm not happy being alone. Maybe that's the lesson I need to learn - is to be happy being alone.

It's true. Life has so many ups and downs but your paths had led you something different. Thanks Sophie for sharing your video ❤❤

Sadhguru quote "It is good to have a plan. but it more important to have a purpose. If you have a purpose, plans will evolve and manifest."

i have been through a life dump too x leaving a toxic career, toxic relationships, decluttering etc ….. i can’t tell you how much i have grown through it all, i needed a fresh start before i hit 70-80 years old and regret my life xx i was so unhappy with myself and my life, now i am much kinder to myself and others xx

This is really really I want to listen... Because sometimes we tried hard and then get depressed due to unexpected results...and constantly listening from others and social media that we shouldn't GIVE UP... But you know what sometime giving up makes you feel alive again

I totally needed this today! Just got laid off from an 8 year job. Time for new beginnings and soul searching. :)

This is such an important conversation, Sophie, and one that is not had often enough, in my opinion. I was raised in a "never quit" kind of family, and once I interrogated that belief for myself, realized how damaging it can be. Thank you for sharing this!

Important video, never was fired but quit twice and at least once after waiting too long and trying to make a broken system work.

The quality of your cinematography keeps getting better each time. I especially appreciate the content of this particular video. My family also immigrated to the US some 18 years ago. I was 12. And for the last 18 years I spent my life pursuing and preparing for a career that made my soul worse and worse the closer I approached my destination. Eventually I had to accept the things I cannot change: this is not for me. And so, here I am today, open to whatever lies ahead. My therapist shared something profound the other day: “The way to dispel the fear of the future is by having a powerful present.” So that’s been my aim as of late: to be present. To let go of people, places, and things that are no longer good for my soul is to set me free to be whole again. I am exactly where I need to be. And I accept my place in life. Anyways, I really appreciate your content. Thank you for sharing and keep up the awesome work 🙏🏻

Thank you for this kind of videos. We all need to talk about this.

Giving up is not failure it is success

thank you for sharing this! such an important message in today's world where competition is high.

Love this message because I literally gave up a lot in order to find my joy and creativity again. It was excruciatingly painful and almost cost my life. Living a life that matters to me is much better than following a hollow idea of success that's empty and lonely. You're not alone. You're not a loser if you give up on something that no longer serve your highest good. Blessings to whoever is feeling off and doing their best. Know that you're not alone. Take care.

Thank you so much for this inspirational video! I agree, sometimes we hold on to old plans for too long, just to save face or to prove a point to people whose lives our decisions don't even affect. 🤷🏾‍♀️

I needed this so much, to know that it’s okay to let it go and to move on and trust the process! Thank you Sophie for another amazing video full of inspiration and love 💛✨

I so needed to hear this today!! Thank you!! 💙💙💙

I needed to hear this as I am going through a similar situation! Thanks for sharing this with us! ❤️ Mental health is definitely a top priority!!

“Giving up something is the start of something else.” ❤️ I spoke about the same things you mentioned in my recent videos. 🙌🏾🙌🏾

I really needed to hear this. Have been struggling letting go on a path I started and has been unable to move forward.

The shots and filming are on a whole another level in this one, amazing!

Definitely give up the things that harm or hurt you! Thank you for this video.

I discovered your channel recently, and I'm literally addicted with it . Thank you so much for this stunning content ❤️

Thank you, Sophie. I've been a silent viewer and today this video speaks to me loudly. I needed to hear this.

Thank you for this beautiful reminder that everything's gonna be okay no matter where we are in life, and adjusting to change will always work out! ❤️

This was somehow exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you!

Hi Sophie, been binge watching your videos and I just wanna say BIG THANK YOU for all the effort, quality content and value that you put out here ❤️ All your videos speaks so deep to me. Grateful that I found your channel. Sending love and light your way 🙏🏻

Thank you for sharing a bit of your personal story - so lovely to see your parents and their diner! Really beautifully told story ❤️❤️❤️

Omg your video is up just when needed ❤️ thank you so much! You’re a beautiful human ☀️

"If you want to fly, you have to give up what weighs you down." - Roy T. Bennett Hope you guys let go of what holds you down. Love from a small KZfaqr 💓

I needed this very much. I have been so confused about the unfulfilling career that I have took up. It is making me feel drained and stuck. But I am a very stubborn person who always thinks that I can make things workout. But I think this is a wake up call for me to rethink my decision and explore my true calling. Thank you for this video

I stumbled across your channel and needed to hear this message today. Thank you!

Thank you for this message ❤️

Thank you for sharing this one!✨ Especially in 2021 with everything that has been happening 💞

Yes it's ok to know when to quit or even to fail because on the other side there is something must greater. When we are our present in the moment/season of life even if its not where we want to be; when we receive our blessing we are even more grateful for it. Sometimes it can be very hard which I know because I in that season but im still grateful, this is an amazing video 😊 and Henry is cute 💕

I cannot give up. My youngest son has autism. I fight/advocate for him each day. People complain about such minor things. They just don't get what life's real struggles are.

Your way of speaking is so soothing and great content. Thank you❤

I really love your channel! Someday when I grow older, I will leave a peaceful and simple life

Thank you so much this was so beautiful! I decided to give up my studies for now because they didn‘t led me in the direction I want to go and just made me feel really deprived of Energy so this was such a good reminder to me that I am right for listening to my heart🙏🏻

Thank you so much for this. This video was just what I needed.

I am so blessed that I found your channel. I love all of your videos, it is so inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing about minimalism.

This gave me a sense of calm in my otherwise chaotic head 💜💜

Thanks for the reminder and that perspective. In the present, I'm at the crossroads deciding whether or not to try an emergency medical responders course after failing my first attempt. While my written tests were the best in the class, I failed my practical tests. Partly because of anxiety, but also because of how the course was delivered (in my opinion) because of covid restrictions. It was literally illegal to stay after class for practice and I feel that affected my outcome greatly. That's why it's a difficult decision for me. To give up on this journey or try again..? Of course, I don't have a lot of money to waste either. It's also very stressful and the days are long. Class is full time and my commute was about two hours every day. Add in studying and everyday things like chores and it was 16-18 hour days for me, running off of 4-5 hours of sleep every night.. I felt like a failure and my anxiety was bad. But I also know if I pass that things would be better in some ways, worse in others.. What to do.. It's difficult because becoming a paramedic felt like my life's purpose.

What an inspiration message to the people, you are great ☺️ God bless you 🙏🏾

Thank you Sophie for this video. Came at perfect time. Your words come so comforting and assuring as I find myself in a transitional phase of my life and doubts kick in often to try lead me astray off my plan and desires. Thank you!

Within you is the power to do anything...with confidence and inspiration, you unlock the possibilities

A beautiful message that really resonated with me. Thanks for sharing and many blessings to you and your family. 🙏🏿✨

Thank you always Sophie for sharing your thoughts.

This one came to me just in time, I felt it deeply and I allowed myself to let go of something that set on my heart. Thank you, your honesty is always appreciated when you share your true hardships and struggles in life you are giving us the opportunities to meet ourselfs deeply and kindly 🤲💐 keep going 💜

Change doesn't always happen in the way we want it to or expect it to go but, theres always something to learn from it

Amazing I was just meditating imagining being in a new world other than this one 😭 got denied by 3 jobs back to back it’s just been a struggle needed this so glad this channel exists

thank you this is so inspiring. Love u sophie!

There should be more videos like this on YT: people would be happier if they learned to give up, to accept failure and welcome mistakes as learning experience to nurture one's mind, its not a tragedy. Thank you for the quality work !

ive felt discouraged lately and like giving up on my channel. although i do love talking about minimalism i do it because i enjoy it. great video xx

As Mark Manson would say, “Don’t try”. You’ve only got so many “fucks to give” in life so chose what’s more important and ignore everyone and everything else.

Your channel has been a blessing as I’m going through hard time in my life dealing with depression . It’s been soo hard to let go of certain things but I’m also surprised you uploaded this today because yesterday I save a quote that says ‘ trust the magic of new beginnings’ and I promised my self to start new and let go of the old!! Thank you ❤️

❤️thanks for this wise reminder!

Being a single mom for 17 years. Working consistently at things that never worked out. Dead end relationships.

You’re so peaceful ❤️

Thank you for sharing this. Really needed this. Sometimes things that don't serve us are not worth sticking around. I'm trying to embrace the slow-living life and be able to appreciate moments that are usually swallowed by unpleasant priorities.

Thank you for making that video! It really helped ❤
