Having the Strength to Never Give Up

It's pretty common knowledge that if you want to be successful, you must've give up. Although this advice seems to almost be written in stone, it's not always useful advice. The reality is that sometimes, giving up might be the best option. Plenty of people struggle up a mountain towards some goal only to discover later on that it wasn't the mountain they wanted to climb up in the first place. Are the goals you're working so hard on really the things you want to achieve in your life or are they merely things other people in your life want you to achieve?

Another situation where giving up may be a valid option is when you're taking the wrong path up the mountain you want to climb. If there is more than one path, and there always is, and the one you're on just isn't working out for you, there's nothing wrong with going up a different route. If your goal is to be financially independent and you're just having a really difficult time with your current business, to the point that you just hate it, switching to another business is a perfectly fine decision.

Now assuming that you're climbing up the mountain you want to climb and have found a route up that mountain that you're okay with, then it's not okay to give up. At this point, you either have to keep on keeping on or die trying. Why? Well, think about it. What else are you going to do with your life if you're not pursuing the things that you want most out of it?

No matter how hard things get, remind yourself that when all of this is over, the pain of regret will be far worse than having to put yourself through the temporary inconveniences that are necessary to get to where you want to be in life. As long as you're pursuing a goal that you truly want with a deep, burning desire, don't let anything stand in your way. When things get tough, just remember why you started your climb in the first place.
