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!

Final Defeat

We all have experienced terrible loses in life. It is a part of our lives. If you haven’t experienced one, it is either you are not trying hard enough, or you are just playing it too safe.

When you are planning or cultivating your path to success, don’t just focus on the good side of it, you should also plan on how you are going to deal with adversity, obstacles, and frustrations. You are going to experience lots of them. They are there waiting for you to come. If you want success badly, you will go. It is not what happened to you that matters now. It is what you do with it after you have experienced it that matters. Are you going to quit, or are you going to stick with it until you succeed?

“When you are planning or cultivating your path to success, don’t just focus on the good side of it, you should also plan on how you are going to deal with adversity, obstacles, and frustrations.”

Success and failure are on the same street. You cannot separate them. If you want to succeed, you must be ready to fail. It is after you have failed, then you learn how to succeed. First failure is not failure, it is experimenting time. If you fail the first time, don’t quit. Stick with it, learn it, and start again. People fail because they take the first misstep as the final failure. Don’t do that. It is not your last chance. It is your first chance. It is not your last shot at success. Try again. People fail because they can’t move past the first misstep.

If you want to succeed, you must be ready and willing to move past the first misstep. If you do, you will succeed.
