If today you feel like giving up on your journey because you have seen no progress at all, then read this.

You may be in your room right now, just sitting or perhaps laying on your bed while staring at a distance or even at the ceiling, feeling hopeless of the journey you are in. A lot of times you question your path. You feel dismayed that this is not the path you're imagining in your head while you're still crafting your goals. You feel sad on why things ended up to be this way, this is not what you ever wanted. You even have countless of thoughts that may become a hindrance towards pursuing the goal you have in mind.

"I want to give up on this journey because I feel so incapable."

"I want to give up because it seems like my efforts are going nowhere."

"I want to give up because I feel so left behind."

These thoughts keep on visiting in your mind so often that you feel suffocated and just wanted to give up to breath some fresh air. You just wanted to isolate yourself and find an area of comfort where you find peace. You just want to be successful in life. You just want to embrace the feeling of achieving the goals you have cultivated in your mind and heart, but challenges keep on embarking your journey.

Not to mention, in times like this, you must be firm enough and remind yourself these words:

There is no straight path towards success.

The path towards success is like the amazing race. There are different areas that you need to take. In every area there are challenges given. The path towards each one is never easy as well. It will burn you out, and will give you thoughts of giving up.

Never Give Up on Your Dreams; Learn to Rest

No matter how hard the path is, never give up. If you feel tired, if you feel suffocated on the events that are happening in your life, learn to rest and recharge. You should not add quitting as an option in your life.

I remember back when I just finished my studies and tried applying for jobs around the place. I looked for jobs here and there, but it's negative. No one seems to hire me because I have no experience. It made me feel down so much that I just want to give up on it. Howbeit, I realized that maybe I just need some time to unwind, and so I did. After recharging myself and my positivity, I tried looking for job with a positive outlook, and there I got hired.

You see, if I give up that time, I will never have the job and of course I will never have the life I have now as well. I could say that my life these days is never easy, but I know it will never be this way forever. So again let me remind you, never give up.

The Right Time Will Come; Trust the Process

You should remind as well that there's always a right time for everything. If you feel like it's not happening, just wait. One day, you will be surprised as great things will come in your life unexpected and will make your heart so happy. Have patience and trust the process.

Enjoy the Bumpy and Numerous Path towards Your Goal; Don't Fret

It may sound ironic to enjoy the bumpy and numerous towards our journey, but I guess it's what we need to do in order to survive. If we will allow ourselves to get dismayed, things will be so much tough for us.

You see, walking towards your goal is never easy. But if you embrace the journey no matter how hard it takes, the summit for you will be so sweet that you will thank yourself a lot for never giving up.

To you who's struggling, you are not alone. Know that I understand you as I have been there. It's not easy, but just continue and never give up. Embrace the support that the people around you are sharing and remember why you started as well. I know you will be able to reach it one day in His time.
