It is okay to give up. But before you do that, you must check what you are giving up. Don’t be afraid to give up bad things. Don’t be afraid to give up a bad relationship. Don’t be afraid to give up a good job for a better one. Don’t be afraid to give up bad habits. You must do it if it is hurting you.

Winston Churchill said, “Never, never, never give up.” If what you are doing is making you happy, if what you are doing is making sense, if what you are doing is what you really want to do, do not give up. No matter how tough, don’t quit. But if it is not making you happy, if it is not making sense, if it is making you unhappy, don’t be afraid to quit it. Give it up! Why? Because if you don’t it, it will quit you.

“I can’t go back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.”- Lewis Caroll

Yesterday was yesterday. Today is today. And tomorrow will be tomorrow. Life is a continuous process. Life is moving forward , not backward. It is changing.

If you want to move your life forward, you must change. You must stop going back to where people don’t respect you. Stop going back to your comfort zone. Stop going back to your old pain. Let it go.

Let the bad things go. Let your bad friends go. You don’t need them in your life anymore. You don’t need people who will put you down. You need people who will lift you up. You need people who will help you find your purpose in life. They are waiting for you.

But if you keep going back to your old life, how can you make your new life? To make your new life, to nurture your present, to nurture your future, you must stop going back to your old zone. You don’t need it. All you need is now. Are you ready to stop going back to your old pain?
