HOW TO NEVER GIVE UP
In the pursuit of your goals, sometimes things can become challenging, and you might feel the inclination to give up.
However, this option should be out of the question and your task must remain to never give up.
Setbacks and roadblocks are a part of this journey of turning your dreams into reality so they must be taken as challenges, and you must always choose to persist and not surrender.
How can you stop yourself from giving up? Read on to unveil the ways that help.
ASK YOURSELF, ‘WHY?
When you seek to reach your goals, some days can be more challenging than others. This is how every good struggle needs to feel and be like. But the fatigue and burdens start overwhelming you more and you feel like you are at the edge of giving up.
In these circumstances, ask yourself why you started in the first place. Many times, when you consider your purpose, the motivation level gets replenished, and the thought of giving up vanishes.
Always go back to why you set the particular goal, and then you will see the triggering reason behind your choice, you will feel energized and inspired to keep working in the direction of your goal.
USE THE POWER OF ‘YET’
I understand the fact that preaching about positive thinking is easier but developing it takes a lot of effort. But the benefits you will reap after you develop a better mindset are many.
In times when you are feeling blue and things do not turn out the way that you want them to, learn to redirect your thinking a little to see how beautifully it will transform your state of mind.
Instead of saying or thinking like this, I have not found any solution. Try saying this, I have not found any solution yet. With only the addition of this single powerful word, you're thinking will move from a fixed to a growth mindset and drive you to keep working hard and continue growing.
It all comes down to how you think, when you are thinking positively, giving up will not be an option for you.
When the going gets tough, the tough gets going, is a commonly known phrase for creating flexibility and perseverance in anyone.
So, when you feel like giving up because of pressures, trials or exhaustion try to follow those who have great success stories to share.
Read books on influential people who are looked up to for inspiration and learning. Get to know how they succeeded despite the hurdles they had to go through.
Consume content that pushes you to try till the end and sit around those who are go-getters so that your spirit to keep going never diminishes. This step works wonders if you do it consistently.
Slowly but surely, you will learn to stay robust as it becomes a part of your personality and the option of giving up completely goes away.
SURROUND YOURSELF WITH ACHIEVERS
It is human nature to get tuned according to the kind of environment you are provided with. If the environment is supportive, enlightening, and positive, the mind absorbs the positive vibes and learns to keep the fighting spirit alive.
On the other hand, if it gets exposed to an atmosphere that harnesses disappointment, negativity, and giving up; the mind absorbs these vibes too and learns to not try after a certain level of pressure.
It is important to surround yourself with doers and achievers who believe in putting in their best till the end.
These people never endorse the idea of giving up in life and indeed when you sit around such positive minds, you develop the fighting spirit, and giving up never remains a choice for you.
TAKE BABY STEPS AND DON’T AIM FOR PERFECTION
Sometimes you want to stop making an effort because you do not see the results that you want which makes you sad. Now being sad for a little while is alright, but thinking about giving up on your struggle altogether is an unwise thing to do.
Remember that nothing worthwhile has ever been achieved overnight. Days and nights have to be devoted to your cause with consistency.
So, when things do not turn out the way you want them to, do not fret or give up. Rather understand the fact that taking small, baby steps every day matters the most in your journey to the achievement of your goals.
Additionally, leave behind the idea of perfection in results. Nothing in this world is supposed to be perfect because God never designed us to be so. Therefore, do not wait or look for perfection as it will only waste your time and increase your restlessness.
Instead, focus on constantly moving towards your goal every day and let the outcomes amaze you.
THIS TOO SHALL PASS!
Now, this is a very valid and probably the most important reason for you to never give up as it focuses on faith.
The sheer belief that every good, happy, and rewarding moment, the moments of trials, setbacks, and turbulence will vanish they will keep you going in every situation.
Adapted from the famous story of when a king faced a hard time and wanted someone to come up with words that may soothe him during good and bad times, the winner said, “This too shall pass.
So, keep telling yourself that these hard days that are putting you through a grind, will be over soon if you hang in there and keep trying.
Nothing is permanent and thus the tough times are also supposed to pass.
Abandoning your dreams and aspirations should not be the way to go. Instead, believe in your power to fight the hard days and witness the glorious ones eventually.
With this sheer faith and resilience by your side, success is bound to reach you because it knows that the fighter in you will never give up.
