Should I give up on this endeavor? 49.3.6>25

[professionalsky3]

I feel the urge to give up on something I'm dedicating myself to achieve, but I haven't been seeing results or signs that this will bear fruit on the horizon so I'm just considering calling it quits for good.

I got 49.3.6>25

Is this the right decision?

49.3 you don't have all the info to decide yet, there are still grounds for negotiation.
49.6 one of the two parties involved will take a clear drastic final decision.
25 the party who takes the clear decision will have good fortune, the one who only pretends to change will have misfortune.

I'm just considering calling it quits for good.

I'm curious, what exactly is it you are doing here? What is it you want to 'call it quits' to?

49 meaning 'old grounds for grief and dissention are departing'
25 meaning 'disaster has come from outside'

Nuclear 44 - 'supple meats firm'

It appears that external events have been contributing to your 'urge' to give up on something. (25) Dedication is a massive undertaking and perhaps this undertaking has meant sacrificing other aspects of your life which you have felt increasing dissatisfied about doing. A kind of look at what I'm missing out on mindset has set in. However these grounds for grief and dissention are departing. (25)There is a fresh wind a-blowing deeply through the situation urging you to be open to a more flexible approach rather than the all or nothing attitude that sits with you now.(44)

49.3 - What is it that is really so much hard work for you right now? Can you rebalance?
49.6 - The combatitive way you are approaching this matter may not the best way to view what is going on and it may not be be the only way.

...or it may be nothing at all like this for you.

Good Luck

It's not yet time for your desired change to happen, so don't insist on it (49.3), instead change your attitude and persist in your own way (49.6). Let it be (25).

I have been enjoying this (for me) recently discovered version of the Yi by Jing Nuan Wu. Here's his take on 49, which seems very germane to your dilemma.

9-3 The third line, "To go forward, misfortune. The divination:
danger. Change is spoken of thrice, then there is confidence."
Stop, thoroughly discuss options and possibilities for change; only
then will there be confidence in a plan.

6-6 The sixth line, "The superior man and the leopard change.
Small men change face. To proceed, misfortune. Stay, and the divination is good fortune."

The superior man is equated with the leopard whose versatility is a Chinese idiom. The superior man is capable of changing his entire
being, but the small man cannot. In a situation where great change is
necessary and much depends on small men, forward action will result in disaster. In such a time and situation it is best to stay put, stay at home.
Ge is one of the great hexagrams of the Yijing. It shows an attempt
to transform oneself and one's destiny, which is what the Yi Jing is all
about. Ge presents costumes and shamanistic rituals as two great tools
of oracular intervention. A yellow bull, a tiger, a leopard, provide
vestments of transformation.
Ge's skin symbols emphasize the surface of things. The distinguishing mark between a tiger and a leopard is his skin. External appearance is very important in certain proceedings. You must have the costume of a tiger if you want to assume the actions of a tiger. Assumption of different guises may be used to penetrate other aspects of your destiny. But in order to change your destiny, your entire appearance must change with sincerity.
Ge is one of the most clear renderings of shamanistic practice in the
Yi Jing. Coming just after a well, which in nature constitutes a stable
entity, Ge shows the dynamics and power of man and other earthly
creatures, even to the possibility of changing heaven's ordinances,
changing destiny.

Seems to me that your quest is worthy but in order for you to achieve its purpose you need to reevaluate, reorient in order to get to the pith so that you can go forward with sufficient sincerity and commitment to transform on a deep level.

Yes, you can walk away and abandon the quest and you will be fine. But if you do continue, you have to muster what it takes to give it your all. In the Buddhist teachings there's an old tantric saying: "Better not to begin the path at all; but if you do, then better to go all the way."
