How To Keep Going When You Feel Like Giving Up

By on January 22, 2018

When you feel like giving up, I want you to remember who was watching. Think of all those people who are doubting you. Sometimes you need more motivation than what you have inside of yourself. That motivation comes from recognizing everyone in your life.

There are certain events or people who have shaped your thinking and beliefs. Maybe you went to start a business and someone told you it was a stupid idea. And you believed them and for what? Never let someone who has done nothing tell you how to do anything.

Just because someone told you that you can’t do something doesn’t mean you can’t accomplish it. Instead of letting their negativity affect you, use it as motivation. I don’t care who you are, there has been someone who has doubted you on your journey. How great would it feel to prove them wrong?

Besides trying to prove people wrong, think of your kids, your wife, and even your future grandkids. Would they be happy with the life you’re living? All it takes is one decision for yourself that can impact future generations.

When everything seems to go against you, think of those who love you. Because if you give up, you’re letting them down and I don’t think you want to let them down.

People don’t expect you to become successful. They’ve been taught their entire life to be average. If you feel like giving up, they’ll tell you it’s okay and try to bring you back down to mediocrity. Don’t give into them. Understand you’re better than that.

If you continue to put in the work repeatedly until you succeed, you will not have any regrets at the end of the day. The one thing I can guarantee you is if you give up, you’ll always live with regret.

When you feel like giving up, remember those who doubted, those who love you, and that you only have one life!
