Giving up
Prompt:Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to success is to try just one more time.”
Thomas Edison
Do you give up easily? why do you think some people quit at the beginning of a mission or project? And/or What is Edison trying to tell us?

I don’t really think of myself as a quitter but I certainly know my limitations. I’ve been a person who has always enjoyed a reasonable level of fitness despite my issues with skeletal problems. My spine has been a trial ever since being young. I think though it has been having a bad back which spurred me on to try to overcome it.
Recently I attempted to get back to an exercise class and after three goes I had to admit I couldn’t do it, it was too much for my many ailments. So I gave up! Much to my disappointment. As I write this I’m waiting to see yet another specialist to see if a magic cure can be found so I don’t end up incapacitated for the rest of my life.
So I don’t give up easily but sometimes the universe has a different plan, doesn’t it?
