Every once in awhile, find a spot of shade, sit down on the grass or dirt, and ask yourself this question: â€œDo I respect myself?â€ A corollary to this question: â€œDo I respect the work Iâ€™m doing?â€ If the answer to the latter question is NO, then the answer to the former question will probably be NO too. If this is the case, wait a few weeks, then ask yourself the same two questions. If the answers are still NO, quit.
