“The only way out is through” is only true when:

1. The chosen path leads to some desired result
2. There is no other path that leads to the same result
3. There is no other path that leads to a result of similar value
4. Staying without result is not an option

People are very bad at keeping an open mind once they’ve chosen a solution. They tend to stick with it as long as they think they’re still on track. They don’t stop to see what their actual choices are and if they can switch approaches halfway. You don’t have to “tough it out”, even when you’re already knee deep in shit and you’d have to wade back a mile to try a different path.
