There are times in life when we feel as to ‘throw in the towel’. Some circumstances threaten our core existence and we might begin to feel or think that giving is the quick and easy way out. Ok, let’s get this straight. Now is not the time to doubt all our unique potentials so chin up sunshine, shake off the dust, believe in yourself and never give up!

I love this quote by Elbert Hubbard, ‘do not take life too seriously, you will never get out of it alive’. How true is this statement? Focus attention on living a fulfilled and happy life rather than worrying about those problems. Do you know some of our shortcomings are a ‘blessing in disguise’? They tend to repeat themselves until we’re able to unveil the truth and learn the vital lessons.

There are periods in life when everything we do seems not to work. It’s as though something is preventing us from moving forward. “Roy T. Bennett in The Light in the Heart says “Your hardest times often lead to the greatest moments of your life. Keep going. Tough situations build strong people in the end.” So keep walking, never give up!

There are times you will be anxious because you are uncertain of the future. The fear of failing makes you feel like ‘why am I even doing this?’ You may not know how close you are to success. It’s not time for you to quit, because “There is no failure except in no longer trying,” says Elbert Hubbard. So Keep walking, never give up!

There are times we become bitter about our life and wish to spend the rest of it on the side-lines. The challenges are overwhelming and looks as if there’s nothing we can do to remedy the situation. Nothing good comes easy just like Dale Carnegie said “Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.” So keep walking, never give up!

There are times you have a dream, but because you are scared of failure, you think you just need to give up. Failure is what drives most successful people to be what they are. Rather than give up, they look for solutions to any obstacle they encounter. “If you have a dream, don’t just sit there. Gather courage to believe that you can succeed and leave no stone unturned to make it a reality,” says Dr Roopleen. So keep walking, never give up!

Some of us quit going after our dreams and later on regret why we did that. Things usually happen in funny ways. The moment we give up, is the moment we realise that we were just a step away from success if we had only persevered a little. The moment to live our dreams is now. Israelmore Ayivor says “Success is not obtained overnight. It comes in instalments; you get a little bit today, a little bit tomorrow until the whole package is given out. The day you procrastinate, you lose that day’s success.” Keep walking, believe in yourself and never give up!
