Successful people never give up. They have a never-say-die attitude. They conquer in life because they do not succumb even when situations turn sour. Successful men and women stay put even when there is no light at the end of a dark tunnel.
You may have felt like give up hope in the face of challenging issues and circumstances. You are not alone. Many people like you have felt the same as problems become sticky. Many have chosen to hang on. Oprah Winfrey, Thomas Edison, and many others chose to keep hope alive.
The cost of giving up is higher than the cost of hanging on. You do not want to let your goals disappear into oblivion. You do not want your dreams to remain just statements of intent. You do not want your destiny to lead you into unknown territory. Giving up is never your option.
In moments when you feel like giving up, remind yourself of the theme of your life. Remind yourself of the purpose and vision of your life. Think of the satisfaction and happiness you will derive from finishing the race. Yes, this is not the moment to give up. Your success is coming. Rome was not built in a day. There is more in store for those who endure to the last minute. You can remind yourself to endure by surrounding yourself with various quotes and sayings.
Rather than giving up, summon a new sense of responsibility, courage, and passion in your life. Listen to the voices that will live you fired up and inspired. Believe in your dreams and speak to the champion inside you. The champion in you cannot afford to succumb to the pressures of life.
