Life is full of struggle. We're destined to face pain and have everything blow up in our face. We all suffer from failure and disappointment at some point in our lives. But, what I've learned is that those who succeed accept this face and make a decision to push through it no matter what. When things go wrong, DON’T QUIT! I've experienced many ups and down in my life I've wanted to quit. That was until I realized how I got where I am today. The only reason I'm still here is because I decided not to quit. Quitting is the most painful form of suffering. Most of all quitting on yourself is something you will never forgive yourself for. I know life is hard, but that doesn't mean you can't find an empowering way to break through all of the struggles in life. Here are a few reasons why you shouldn't quit on yourself: Life is not a race - We quit on ourselves because we feel like life is a race against time. We feel like we have to achieve so much by a certain age or we're a failure. Don't quit because of someone else's time frame. Yes, life is short in one sense of the word and very long when you live in the present moment. I've wanted to quit on myself many times because ive failed many times but have gotten back up each time I've failed. Life is tough buy when you fall, you get back up again and keep going! "The way you win the race is to accept that pain is guaranteed" Know that with every failure that comes your way, there's a whole bunch of other people around you going through something similar. You may not know all of the pain happening around you, but it's everywhere. Don't quit on yourself because you didn't reach your goal or get what you wanted. Get back up again and keep trying with the newfound perspective from your past failures. Another reason why you shouldn't quit on yourself is because you're over thinking everything. Quitting on yourself happens because your over thinking everything that has transpired. If you give your brain enough time, it will find 101 reasons why you should quit. Quitting is your brain's default response. It's easier to quit on yourself than to keep going. Remember that success comes from struggle and hard work not from taking the easy path. Stop your brain from going into meltdown and try these few suggestions: Every time you want to quit, repeat a metaphor that intereups your brain pattern. Mine is " Remember how you made it to this point." - Go for a walk and listen to a motivational story of struggle. - Get social and spend time with people you don't know (Network). These suggestions will help you to take your mind of quitting. The longer you try and solve a problem through thinking, the more likely you are to quit. Try taking breaks and blocking out times where you can think about a problem. Quitting without trying isn't the answer. There is no failure except in no longer trying. Winners never quit, and quitters never win!
