The reason why people go through the tunnels of life is because of the hope of light at the end of them. The hope of things getting better is why people still go through life even with all the challenges. If you have hope in only what you see at the present, then you will lose the zeal to keep putting in your best in life. But since there is still a place known as "there," then continuous efforts will have to be put into life. You will be agree with me that you are better off today than you were many years ago. This shows that progress is made and better days are coming.

I remember that a lot of what I have now are what were part of my prayer requests of past. In the same way, what you are hoping for today will become cheap possibilities soonest, but only if you refuse to give up and you keep trying. I read the story of a particular scientist and inventor who was among the world's renowned scientists during his time. During his lifetime, he was working on a particular invention but it seemed to be difficult and he failed at it many times, but he never allowed it to make him to give up. At a point, the waste materials from his failed attempts almost got to the top floor of house.
He had only one hope - that the invention will work, without a recourse to how many times he had failed. His hope of succeeding at his invention what what made him to keep moving and he kept putting in his best. After a long time of failing and repeating the processes, he finally succeeded. This show that when you have hope on things getting better, it will trigger the zeal and enthusiasm within you to keep giving life the best you have.
You have to understand that what you are currently going through is not exclusively preserved for you. That is, a lot of other people may be experiencing, or going through the same or even worse challenges than you. As a matter of fact, when you look at others, you will have hope that your own is even better. This is why you do not have to give up even when everything is suggesting it. More so, you should know that your future is yours to determine. If the people that have made it successfully in life had to give up at the slightest challenge that they had, they would have missed out of a glorious future.
It does not matter how rough the journey of life may look like, the fact still remains that the destination is assured if you maintain your hope and act on it. No one will ever guarantee you that life will be without challenges, but the only guarantee lies in the fact that if your refuse to give up, you will achieve your dream. When you want to get to an important destination and your start to drive towards it, even if you meet a lot of traffic on the road, you will not get discouraged and turn back to go home. If you turn back at the sight of the traffic, you may not arrive at the destination. In the same way in life, if you give up because of the challenges of today, then you have eluded yourself from the better days ahead.

When you have the hope that tomorrow will definitely be better than today, you will not "throw in the towel" today. One of the reasons why people face the battles of life is because of the hopes of winning it. If you have concluded that the battle of life will overwhelm you, then it will. But if you believe that you are able to face and conquer the battles of life and emerge a better version of yourself, then you will. What you make out of life is almost entirely dependent on what you put into life. If you give life a careless approach, you will receive a result that is not up to par. But if you give life the best of what you have, then you will receive the best of what life has for you.
