Dissatisfaction will happen in your life. People may lose faith in you. Every day can bring forth more challenges. But the joy, hope and vision you hold in your dreams, your aspirations, your goals, can see you through difficult times as long as you never give up believing in yourself!
Are you at the point of giving up on your dream?
Are you just about to let your aspirations slip through your fingers?
Are you dejected that things are not working out the way you want?
Have you stopped believing in yourself?
Are you now questioning whether you really have what it takes to achieve your dreams?
Don’t let the reality of life destroy your dreams. Don’t give up. You owe it to yourself to never let go of your dreams, goals or hopes. They give meaning to your life. That is why you’ve held on to them for so long. You know you’ve tried your level best and put up the best fight anyone could ever have asked of you. Even when your closest supporter, shows loss of belief in you, and even walks away, don’t let it stop your fight. Keep going till you succeed. Otherwise you have suffered, and struggled for nothing. Stick to what you are trying to do. After spending the time you have already, suffering from whatever pain it has brought, it would be such a waste to just give up.
So, be brave, keep fighting, hold on to your dreams and never give up ever in life! Keep going until you win. Not giving up ever in life must be what you stand for. Success comes to people who have the courage to keep going no matter the obstacles.
Today’s article was inspired by Alpana Jaiswal. She wrote a beautiful piece about love, “Hope it Stays Forever“. One sentence not only stood out to me, it made me sit very still and contemplate … “You never give up on me, and that’s what keeps me going….I feel a sense of contentment, deep satisfaction, and total fulfilment”.
Life is a test, a tough one, sometimes. And you got to get through it. Sometimes you feel lost. Doubts and negativity cloud the mind. Just don’t give up. Better times could just be around the corner, so you must keep fighting for just a little longer.

Accept that you will experience failure, criticism and ridicule. Some people may even try to stop you, others will give up on you. Just don’t give up on yourself.
“You always pass failure on the way to success.” Micky Rooney
Never give up. Few good things come easily and it most often takes hard work and perseverance to attain that which we desire. Often the only obstacle between us and something better is simply not giving up.
The road to success is paved with obstacles but you have to persist, keep at it, keep learning, and never give up. Refuse to give up, keep going, and when you get knocked down, just get back up and keep moving toward your goal. If it stirs you, if that vision captivates you, then do it, no matter how long it takes. Never give up on something that matters to you. Never let your dream die. Never given up on, or forgot, the goal that really means something to you.
Have a listen to Never Give Up – Yolanda Adams song and tell yourself that you too can push through the quagmire and achieve your goals.

If something deep inside keeps inspiring you to try, don’t stop
And never give up, don’t ever give up on you
Don’t give up
Every victory comes in time, work today to change tomorrow
It gets easier, who’s to say that you can’t fly
Every step you take you get, closer to your destination
You can feel it now, don’t you know you’re almost there?
Never give up on something that you can’t go a day without thinking about.
Have the guts to keep on going. You have to be prepared to suffer and pay the price. Doing a little every day adds up to a lot. We just need to do a little today, and a little more tomorrow. The effect will accumulate. You can dream as big as you want to dream. Just realise that you can have to do something about it today. Ask yourself, “What can I do this day to advance toward my dream?”
‘When you feel like giving up, remember why you held on for so long in the first place.’ – Unknown
No matter how hopelessly impossible your goal seems to be, no matter who thinks it’s a ridiculous idea, no matter how many times you have been rejected, take one step forward on it today.
Just know, failure is a temporary condition. Thomas Edison found 999 times how not to produce an electricity bulb, but he never stopped trying.

Never give up, quit, lose hope or abandon your dream or goal. Don’t let anyone sabotage your efforts, don’t let them break your beliefs. No matter how difficult things may seem, believe in yourself and in your ability to succeed.
Whatever it is that you aspire to achieve…Never, ever give up!
“Many people die,” said Oliver Wendell Holmes, “with their music still in them.” That’s tragic. Follow your dreams! Never give up believing in yourself.
