Lost in isolation
There is no undoing
NEVER GIVING UP
BY: PATRICK RUNDBLAD
Sometimes we feel like we have nothing left to give, and no matter how hard
we try, we keep hitting road blocks that seem to hold us back.
The matter of fact is, if we can overcome the obstacles presented to us and
keep pushing through the bad times, we will find the success within ourselves
to create something worthwhile.
It isn’t always easy trying to reach the top, but when you’re thinking about
giving up, remember these five things:
Even if you think you’ve done all you can, you’re wrong. Everyone has a
dream, goal and motivation. It just depends how far you’re willing to go to get
what you want.
Success comes from being unique and standing out among the crowd. If you
settle for good enough, that’s all you will be and someone will surpass you.
2. Nobody’s Perfect.
We are all human. Realizing that it's okay to make a mistake is only part of the
battle to that ultimate goal. Learning and moving forward comes from doing
something wrong and being told how to do it right.
Riding a bike without training wheels isn’t an easy feat, but once we learned
the rhythm and how to be in control, it became a skill we wouldn't forget. If we
throw in the towel after the first mishap or the first time we hear people
criticize how we handle ourselves, we are letting go of what could have been.
Behind every successful person, there is a story and a long-fought journey for
him or her to get to where he or she is today.
If he or she runs two miles, run three. If he or she spends four hours working
on a project, spend eight. Actions speak a lot louder than words, so instead of
complaining and sulking about others perceptions of us, make them choke on
and spit up their words.
