I Used to Think Quitting Was Failure

There was a time when I believed something simple:

If I started a Sudoku puzzle, I had to finish it.

No exceptions.

Didn’t matter how long it took. Didn’t matter how stuck I felt. Quitting wasn’t an option. It felt like losing—not to the puzzle, but to myself.

So I pushed through everything.

And honestly? It made the experience worse.

The Puzzle That Broke That Mindset
It Was Going Nowhere

I remember one specific Sudoku puzzle that completely drained me.

It wasn’t even labeled “Expert”—just “Hard.” I had solved plenty of those before, so I went in confident.

At first, everything felt normal. A few easy placements, steady progress.

Then I hit a wall.

And I mean a real wall.
