There is a theory called There is a theory called Optimal Foraging Behavior.
In short, it means that when some predators spot their prey, they assess whether chasing them is worth the effort based on factors like speed, distance, and the likelihood of capture.
If the predator knows that the energy it expends in chasing the prey is more than the energy it gets by consuming it, it will just give up and look for another prey.
From sharks to hawks lions to wolves to cheetahs, all follow this. They maximize their energy intake while minimizing energy expenditure
I suggest you follow the same principle.
Before you start to pursue something, check the risks and rewards. Check the losses in the worst case scenario. Ask yourself if you can take it or minimise them.
If not, just give up.
Don’t keep chasing this for the sake of pleasing others or to fit the curve. You will lose a lot in the long run by doing so..
