"Never give up!"
"Follow your dreams!"
"Keep going for it!"
The three mantras, from many, that shape our mindset which often pressurizes us so much that we turn into gases and get lost in the void rather than becoming diamonds.
Yes, being driven and going at it will determine your success. Yes, being persistent will translate to victory. But what if all your energy is being seeped up by the wrong roots, the roots that make your efforts redundant and fruitless?
Giving up is not an option, right? Had Walt Disney given up after his first rejection, had Jeff Bezos given up after his first failed transaction, had Steve Jobs given up on the iPhone and kept pushing on the iPod, had Adele not given up on her boyfriend, had Margaret Hamilton given up after failing her first code, where would they be?
I WILL NOT GIVE UP!
I have read every book there is to read about Disney, I have traced and practiced every sketch by Walt that I can redraw them in my sleep, I have learnt every move he has made in the industry that I can rewrite his biography. I will not give up. Maybe I will after I am done watching this artist who made her place in the industry through using social media.
I have a dream. A dream that some day I will be done with be done ringing these items at the retail store and have my own name etched on the spacesuit going to mars. I will be sitting at my farmhouse with a million dollars in my bank and a partner to watch the sun go down. I will have layer with books dedicated to my achievement and the spacesuit in a glass closet. Maybe I will start on that dream as soon as this lady stop screaming at me.
I will keep on going with her. I will keep going at this relationship because I cannot give up on her. She is the one. No matter how many times she breaks my trust and how many times I get abused I will make this work. We will sit at the porch together and tell our grandchildren how great our love is. Maybe I will, after my 17th scar heals.
Giving up isn't an option. I chosen this path and I have to go at it. I have embraced this decision which has been shoved down my throat by my parents, friends, society and maybe even by the people I do not know.
I will keep going at it because I do not know what is yet to come if I forfeit this and am not sure if I am ready for the retaliation this world is ready to slingshot at me.
I WILL NOT GIVE UP!
I cannot give up. I have chosen to be static. Fluidity is uncertainty. Where I am today is the "end all be all". Giving up is for cowards, but maybe I am more scared of what could be than what is.
The price to pay for higher greatness is way too much than what I can afford to pay at the mediocre bubble of comfort I am at.
You see, giving up isn't accepting defeat. Giving up is not losing something forever. Giving up isn't cowardice.
Sometimes giving up the choice of being pressured liquid in a vacuum tube to becoming a coal under pressure is for the best.
Sometimes giving up on something you are passionate about may look muddy, but it's the end goal that makes it worth it...diamond like.
There are often situations that we falsely believe to happen for the best. No matter how many times it beats us down to the knees we want to believe that standing up again is the right choice, not thinking about changing paths and crawling to where we can stand up once again and not fear of being belted down.
Giving up on something small can lead you to something greater, may it be a slipping relationship, a boring desk job, a passion that has changed it's course, or even your lust for sugar puffs for a keto-diet.
It is okay to let lose of the rope you have been holding tight to. It is okay to give it up when the only thing it does is leave a rope burn and turn your skin blue, suffocate you off of life, the harder you tug the worse it gets.
How you do you know when it is time to give up on something?
When giving up becomes the key to inviting a new reality into your life.
