Never Give UP!

This is a very motivating piece I came across some time back. I don’t know who wrote it, and I’ve condensed it into a shorter version that I thought would be nice to share. If anyone does have the original or knows who wrote it, please let me know and I’ll update my knowledge and this page!

Never Give UP! There comes a time in the life of most entrepreneurs when the challenges seem overwhelming. You’ve suffered one setback after another and you seriously think about throwing in the towel.

You question yourself. Maybe you don’t have what it takes after all? Maybe your breakthrough idea just isn’t realistic? Maybe you should quit now rather than continue to make a fool of yourself?

Self-doubt leeches into your heart and soul. Despair begins to take over. It happens all the time. But I’m here to tell you why you should never ever give up on your dreams.

Consider these six reasons:

1.What’s the alternative?

If you give up now, what are your options? Where are you going to be in life? Adrift? Aimless? Imagine how that is going to make you feel.

2.Mistakes happen.

There’s not a straight line to success. You’re going to hit bumps in the road that at the time feel like mountains. But you can get over them.

3.You need passion in your life.

If you give up on your dreams you’re living a life unfulfilled.

4.Anything can happen. Don’t give up today – because the breakthrough you need might happen tomorrow. All of the hard work you have invested in yourself will pay off in the long run.

5.The joy of success.

Most of all, don’t surrender your precious dreams because one day you will achieve them. And when you do, the ecstasy will make all of the agony so worthwhile. Imagine being able to celebrate with your family and friends who have been rooting for you. Just think about the pleasure you will all feel. Crossing the finishing line and winning y our personal goals is a sense of accomplishment that’s almost indescribable. So go for it and don’t quite because you certainly don’t want to miss out on the experience of savoring it.

6.Proving them wrong.

Last but not least, don’t give the naysayers the satisfaction of seeing you give up on your dreams!

I would add my personal favorite to this list: Believe in yourself, 100% and you will get there.
