There are times in life when you fall down and feel that you don’t have the strength to get back up. Would you believe if I tell you it doesn’t matter how many times you fall, why? because you have to keep getting up over and over again, and as long as you keep trying the greater is your chance of rising up from the depth of your struggle as it determines the height of your success. You need to understand that no matter what you are going through, quitting is no option, you have to be resilient because if you quit along the line you are a failure, but if you keep going, you never know what’s going to happen, thus you just have to keep going. Also, you have to make a choice and decide for yourself, who you are going to be, what you are going to be and how you are going fight your way there, then from that point, every door of limitation will be broken. Also, you have to remember, most times if you pursue what is easy your life will be hard, if you keep complaining about your situations and circumstances, give up on your dream, you will only get bitter, unhappy, depressed, your life will be messed up, and if you do what is hard and keep coming back again and again, even though you fall down, and try as much as you can to you get back up each time you fall, you will conquer every obstacle in your path, you must be willing to face the “NO”. You must be willing to make mistakes, it doesn’t matter if people laugh at you, just hold on to this fact that if someone has done it before you can do it too.
The question is, how much can you take, how much pressure, pain, disappointments can you take and keep moving forward, your resiliency determines your victory. Remember, pain is temporary, it may last for a minute, a day or years but eventually it will subside, because something else will take its place, but if you quit the memory and defeats will linger and last forever. It’s a fact that most people don’t want success as much as they want to sleep, have fun, relax, and enjoy life. You need to ask yourself who do you want to be, figure out for yourself, what makes you happy, no matter how crazy this may sound to people, make a decision because you can either stay in darkness and dwell in there or you can either find your way back into the light. You must be willing to sacrifice who you are for what you want, I can recall this saying, “Talent may be natural, but it takes hours and consistency to develop a skill” Don’t waste your time, keep going, don’t try to quit. You are already in pain, you are already hurt, why not get a reward for it, by compensating yourself with success. You are better than this, every day is a new day, every moment is a new moment, You have to show the world how great you are.
