Babies Don't Know How to Quit

I have a 6mo old little girl - and she's learning to crawl.  She gets frustrated and kicks her legs, as if she's swimming on land.  She wants to go, and looks at me and whines as I cheer her on.  She has completed moving in a full circle.  She hasn't quite figured out how to move forward.

 This makes me think of someone starting a new career.  They can go in circles, but it takes practice and diligence to learn to move forward.

Luckily, babies don't know how to quit.  They don't know it's an option.  And because of that, babies learn to crawl, and then walk, and then run!  Wouldn't it be horrible if they knew quitting was a choice?  You'd have teenagers crawling around because learning to walk or run was just too hard!

Oftentimes the best lessons adults learn are from our children, who haven't been tainted by negative habits.  So - next time you want to give up because something is too frustrating or too hard, imagine all the things you'd have missed out on if you knew quitting was possible when you were a child, and push yourself to complete the task at hand.
