Try Harder or Walk Away

One of the hardest decisions you will ever face in life, is choosing whether to try harder or walk away.

Is this really profound, or am I just being weird? It seems like every difficult decision I've had to made falls under this choice.
If you're already trying hard, there's a good chance that trying harder will have a negative impact (regardless of whether your objective is met or not).

Keep sharpening your knife, and it will blunt
Keep seeking approval, and you'll be a prisoner
Do your work and step back, it's the only path to serenity" - old proverb
Nice, Jason.

Whoa! That's deep, you guys. Thanks.
