“Life is hard and unpredictable and there will be a time in your life when you are going to face some serious difficulties, some pain, some adversity… but how you handle yourself in those situations will determine how much success you’ll have in life. You may fail more than one time to learn how to stand, just like a baby and you may have a lot of dreams that you wish to become true, but words are nothing without action.
It’s a choice to never give up, to push forward, to not let anybody’s opinion matter and to bounce back when you’ve been beat down. As people always say; "your best days are ahead of you" but believe me you are going to have to fight for some of those days.
You have to fight for your life.
Life is not fair.
It is a battle of your mind,
it is a battle of your heart,
it is a battle of your will,
it is a battle for your inner soul;
you’ve got to keep pushing and do not let your negative past infect your future.
Don’t let another person’s mistake or their weaknesses, or your mistakes or your weaknesses destroy your greatness. We are all born with greatness and have something to give to this world. Greatness is contagious as well as hope so If you want to get out of your pity, you will have to help somebody. You need to take responsibility for the direction of your life. You’ve got to own it and you’ve got to keep pushing. You’ve got to push through the bitterness, push through the heartache, push through the anxiety, push through the fear, push through the discomfort, push through the sadness. We are born with the instinct not to give up. As babies, we cry and scream until we get what we want but somewhere along the line we lose that ability. People talk us out of our crazy ideas—people who live in the so-called real world, where things “make sense.” They’ve never attempted the impossible. But you have, many, many times. Keep pushing ahead—not in a way that seems pushy but in a way that says you won’t stop. Some people say you shouldn’t bang your head against a wall. Tell that to the woodpecker
You’ve got to keep pushing because on the other side of that pain is something greater for you…some big purpose is waiting for you.
7 reasons why you shouldn’t give up
Success might take longer than expected
Many at times we expect success to come to us at the very first attempt. Sometimes, you have to struggle for years before you can reach the place you aimed for. There will be multiple setbacks on the way and if you give up every time you encounter a roadblock, it will be impossible to ever achieve anything. So you must keep trying in order to make it in the end, and the taste of success will be even sweeter.
Learn from your mistakes
If you give up after your first failure, you will know what you did wrong, but you will never learn the right way to do things. Every time you make a mistake and fail to achieve your goal, you will know one more thing that should not be done. This way, by process of elimination alone, you will keep getting closer to your goal, and finally arrive at a foolproof way to get things done.
You are satisfied in the end
This is perhaps the most important benefit of not giving up. Your goals may seem tough or almost impossible to reach, but you will never really know that unless you have tried. It is only by trying, and trying again, that you will finally understand whether the goal was achievable or not. If you give up without trying at all, or at the first hint of failure, you will always have the nagging thought at the back of your mind: ‘what if I tried?’ If you do try enough, and then finally step back, you will definitely know that this was not doable, or otherwise, because you gave it your best efforts.
Let the benefits at the end of the line motivate you
If you give up even before you begin the race, or after the first lap, you will never know what is at the end of the line. You have a goal in mind, sure, but do you know what it will be like to finally be there? Persevering on your way will get you to the very top, and the view will be breathtaking. If you stop midway, that is it for you; the end of the line with no excitement.
It’s a competitive world and giving up is not an option
We live in a fairly competitive world, which means that every time we let go of our dreams, someone else makes them their own. A million people are chasing the same dream all their lives, and if you don’t keep trying, somebody else will be living your dream, and you will spend the rest of your life mired in regret and jealousy. Giving up is not an option if you have to stay ahead in the race.
You become more self-reliant
When we are used to working hard to succeed, we tend to become self confident and dependent on ourselves. We do not need to rely on anyone else to do the job for us, because we are quite certain that we are ourselves quote capable of handling it on our own. Since we don’t give up on our dreams, we have no regrets, and no one needs to help us out along the way.
Self-improvement
If you give up on your goal after a single try, or without trying at all, you will never know the right way of doing things. Failures tell us that we are doing something wrong, forcing us to change track and learn new things in the process. We have to stay updated if we are to hang on to our dreams, because there is no point in doing the same thing and repeating our mistakes. By working on different ways to get something done, we achieve perfection, becoming an expert in our field in the process.
All said and done, there is always a time to take a step back. But that does not mean you are giving up; it only means you have done all that you could and realized that there is nothing more to be done. There is an innate difference between giving up and stepping back; one is not even trying, and the other is accepting that not everything is under our control, no matter how much we try. One brings a sense of defeat and dissatisfaction, while the other brings peace in the knowledge that you tried.
You’ve got turn on the brain, you’ve got to activate the confidence game, it’s time for you to let go and push through this pain, it’s time to reclaim so that you can say…this is how I overcame.
