When the going gets really tough, for most of us, it is easier to quit than to continue. It does not matter what you are pursuing, nothing great comes easy, do not quit. No matter how hard or how long the journey might be, just keep doing what you are doing- continue.

A lot of people gave up on their dreams before they even started. Do not give up on your own. Your dream is your future. If you give up on your dream because it is too hard, or because it will take years to reach, think about what will happen to you and your life if stop pursuing your dream. Ask yourself: “Am I going to be better or am I going to remain miserable?” If you know that where you are now is better, then stay there. But if you know that where you are now is taking so much away from you than adding to it, then it is time for you to think of what to do next. Do not stay in a place, a job, a relationship, that is not adding value to your life.

“When the going gets really tough, for most of us, it is easier to quit than to continue.”

If you are tired of where you are, if you tired of doing the same thing over and over again, it is time to move forward. I know it is hard to take the first bold step, but you can do it. You can do it. If you don’t know what to do, reach out to people who where in your situation before and have made similar moves. Talk to them, seek their help. This is the time to pocket your “ego.”

Remember, when you are taking the first bold move, it is not going to be easy. It is going to be messy. But that is what makes life so interesting- you don’t always know what is ahead of you. Always prepare for the unexpected and hope for the best. Never give up on your dreams. Life is too important to waste. Don’t waste yours. Earl Nightingale said, “Never give up on a dream just because of the time it take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway.”

That is what you need to remember: Whether you pursue your dream or not, the time will pass anyway. Since you now know that the time will surely pass, why not do whatever it takes to pursue your dream?

Never give up!

It is because of them I’m doing it myself

When people say “no” to you, don’t take it personal. You should be happy that someone said no to your request. Don’t take it personal. View it through your positive lens, not through your negative lens.

It hurts to view rejection through a positive lens. But if you can do it, you will come back smarter, happier, healthier, and wealthier. Yes, wealthier, because the first rejection gave you enough time to prepare for your next move.

Sometimes when people say no to us, they don’t mean it in a bad way. They are telling you to go home and prepare before you come back. If you do, it is a win-win business. I know people say no to us for other reasons. This place is to small to run through the entire list. Next time.

Next time when someone says no to your request, don’t cry about it. Go home and prepare for a stronger comeback. Think about what went wrong the first time. Think about what you are going to do differently this time. Try not to repeat the same process. If you do it, you will get the same results.

“It hurts to view rejection through a positive lens. But if you can do it, you will come back smarter, happier, healthier, and wealthier.”

If you have something in mind that you have been dancing around, rejection time is the perfect time to jump on and act on it. For example, if you have been planning for years to start your own business, rejection time is the right time to work on your plan. If you don’t know what to do, you can get valuable information from your local business centers. If you have been planning to get back to school, rejection time is the right time to enroll that course. Use your time wisely. This is not the time to waste time. This is the time to get stuff done. This is the time to prove to yourself that you can get things done. Albert Einstein famously said, “I am thankful for all of those who said NO to me. It’s because of them I’m doing it myself.”

You need people to succeed, but when rejected, you can do it yourself.

Yes, you can!
