Giving Up? Why?
Every one of us has a limit that is self-imposed. We decide how much something means to us and if something happens to that person or thing, we most often have a built in reaction that determines how much or how little we will fight for or on behalf of whatever it is. It may be a child’s health, a relationship, or an illness and what it may take to treat it. Some things matter more than others, and what matters to one person may not be as important to another.
The most important thing you want to realize about YOU is that whatever battles you may be fighting, you make choices. You may need to step back and ask yourself; “Should I be fighting harder than I am? or “Am I the only one fighting this battle?” If you are the only one fighting a battle, and in your opinion others should be fighting alongside you, re-think your strategy. Recognize the reality of that particular situation. If you are relentlessly pursing a relationship with someone that is not reciprocating, there could be a lot of wasted time and energy that you could apply elsewhere! Don’t waste your energy and don’t waste time.
Too frequently we give up too early. We may give up on school, a career goal, a relationship or even believing that the new business plan you are developing is just too difficult. Do not give up. Do not talk yourself out of it. You have to realize that the experiences you gain when working toward any goal you have, are critical learning experiences that make you that much better when you finally get there.
There are times that you have to keep going when you do not think you have it in you. Believe that you do. You can do this! You are amazing! “Now, let’s get going!” xo Sally
