Sometimes we feel like we have nothing left to give and no matter how hard we try, we keep hitting road blocks that seem to hold us back.
The matter of fact is this, if we can overcome the obstacles presented to us and keep pushing through the bad times, we will find the success within ourselves to create something worthwhile.
It isn’t always easy trying to reach the top, but when you’re thinking about giving up, remember these strategies, they will inspire and motivate you to keep going.
1. You Are Alive And You Can
As long as you are alive you have no excuse to say you can’t. If you put your mind to it, you can do anything. Anything is possible.
So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable. – Christopher Reeve
The only valid excuse to give up is that you are dead, and if you’re reading this well…
2. Believe In Your Dreams
When you give up, you give up on yourself. Don’t sell yourself short and don’t let anybody bring you down. If you can dream it, you can do it. There have been millions of dreamers before you and if they had given up the world wouldn’t have been the same.
Take the example of the Wright brothers who faced severe ridicule when they tried to make flight a reality. Everybody laughed at them and told them it was impossible. They proved the world wrong, and now flight is considered a common means of travel and it has changed the world.
Hold fast to your dreams, for without them life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly. – Langston Hughes
3. You Have Everything You Need
Everything you need to reach your goal is already inside of you. Don’t make excuses, if people can play sports at the Olympic level with disabilities; your short-comings begin to look irrelevant.
Be thankful. And use your God given blessings.
4. You Don’t Want To Regret This
Regret is the worse feeling a person can feel. Don’t put yourself in that position and do what you have to do now.
I do not regret the things I’ve done, but those I did not do.- Rory Cochrane
5. You Need To Prove It To Yourself
You want to prove it to yourself and the world that you can.
Don’t let anything stop you from your goal. True failure isn’t when you miss the mark; but it’s when you give up. You are more capable and quitting is for losers.
6. Success Feels Great
There is no better feeling in this world other than knowing that you faced an obstacle and that only through grit and determination you overcame it and became successful.
7. It Could Change For The Better
It might be really tough now, but it can all instantly change. If you keep going at it you never know when you’ll hit a breakthrough.
Don’t be like the person who dug a well 50m and gave up justifying that he was digging a dry well. And the person who came after him dug 1m and hit water.
8. This Is Meant To Happen
You were destined to do this. Nothing can stop you but yourself, so keep going at it and never give up. #BecomeLegendary
9. You Are Strong
You have the strength to do whatever you want and no matter the amount of setbacks you face you have the strength to keep going.
10. Failure Is Normal
It’s impossible to reach success without first facing failure, so don’t let anything stop you. Failure is a normal process in life. It’s not the end but just a stream changing directions before it finally reaches the ocean.
I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying. -Michael Jordan
11. Things Can Only Get Better
By sticking to your goal and being persistent things can only get better. If you’ve hit rock bottom or feel you’re on your way down. Remind yourself that with the right amount of hard work what comes down must go up.
Hard work and determination can get you anything in life.
