We can become free of our suffering by living responsibly and learning how the mind works. Quitting a job can be a \u2018letting go of something that no longer serves us process\u2019 within the bigger picture. Be aware of your situation, and make sure that the reasons for quitting are coming from a place of alignment with your heart\u2019s guidance and decide accordingly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ui_qtext_para u-ltr u-text-align--start\">Don\u2019t worry if you are suffering.
