Maybe the phrase "able to do it" is muddling things here...
People can exit a situation because it is no longer serving them well. Maybe the realized they now care less about that goal relative to other things, compared to before. Maybe their needs aren't being met.
Life is dynamic and complex. In general, there is nothing wrong with deciding to not do something anymore
Obviously, specific situations will have many specific factors. People might be disappointed. There may be significant impacts. Perhaps you made a serious commitment. These factors can all be considered. And still, sometimes the right decision is to move on and do something different.

The point of my comment was to encourage those who feel that they can't pause to gather themselves. I wasn't talking about quitting or changing careers.
