Don't give up on yourself! Date: 3rd January 2022 Hello everyone! It is a beautiful new day, and I hope everyone is having a great time this new year and staying hydrated. The past few days have been lovely, especially celebrating my Mom's birthday. It was the first time I bought her a gift, and I felt happy because she liked the present I bought for her. There are some beautiful moments in life, one of them for me. I am sure all of us have those beautiful moments in our life, and even if they may be small fragments in our life, we should still try our best to reminisce on them because those memories genuinely keep us going. The problem we sometimes find ourselves in is we fail to focus on these beautiful moments. Instead, we focus on those memories and experiences that make us feel depressed and worthless. When you focus so much on the bad memories/experiences you have had in your life, you will never see a way out in any situation you find yourself in, and you will find yourself giving up often. No matter how dire the situation is, always remember that you can overcome it and move forward because giving up should never be your first option; it should be your last resort. What do you gain from giving up? Sure it may make things easier for you, but giving up when you know you can do more is only making things worse. Even if the year has only started, I see many people who have given up on their situation because they believe there is nothing they can do anymore, and they have given up on themselves. Previous years have been highly rough on people, and some have not recovered from the problems they have faced, which may cause them to feel like there is no longer hope anymore. But if you have read my previous article, you would understand that no matter what situation you are in now, God would always be there for you, and when you trust in him, giving up would never be an option for you. Giving up on yourself may lead you to commit things you don't want to do, and you may end up committing suicide due to losing hope in all future aspirations/goals. 2022 may be filled with many struggles, and sometimes you may find yourself stuck between so many problems that would make you think giving up is the only way to escape them, but you shouldn't think that way. Instead of giving up, look for a better way out of those problems, and even if it takes time to find a way, you should still not give up till the last minute. You would always have problems in this world, and sometimes we don't choose the degree of problems we have, but the only thing you can do with your problems is struggling until you have overcome them. As I did in the previous article, I want to put in some quotes to help you understand why giving up is not the only option you have, and I hope you can understand these verses and use them in your life. **i. Your most challenging times often lead to the most significant moments of your life. Keep going. Challenging situations build strong people in the end."** **ii. "When the going gets tough, put a foot in front of the other one and just keep going. Don't give up."** **― Roy T. Bennett.** **iii. "It doesn't matter how many times you get knocked down. The only thing that matters is you getting up one more time than you were knocked down."** **― Roy T. Bennett** **iv. "No. Don't give up hope.** **It's the last thing to go. Even when you have lost hope and everything you have.** **When you think all is lost, there will still be hope when all is dire and bleak.** **― Pittacus Lore** **"Seven times down** **Eight times up like the Daruma doll."** **― Chris Bradford** **"Never give up hope. All things are working for your good. One day, you'll look back on all you've been through and thank God for it."** **― Germany Kent** Thank you for reading!

Giving up makes one weaker. It isn't an option for me. That is why I like John Cena, he never gives up. One need to incorcate the habit of not tearing down, one need to move forward and never relent.
Giving up on hope is never good decision and doesn’t solve the issue, giving up always make the situation get worse and suffering that from giving up. We have to be stronger than we’ve ever thought.
Yeah, there is no guarantee giving up would solve the situation, it may only make things worse for us.
Success is never easy. We have to work hard to achieve success. And if we give up in the midst of that hard work, we will never be able to achieve success.
Achieving success is never easy, and there will always be problems along the way. But those problems should never stop us from moving forward.
Giving up is not the solution to any problem. We've got to keep on pushing while there is still life 'cos there's hope.
My thoughts exactly, Bolu! Hope will always be there.
That's true. Giving up should never be an option. The fact that others are doing and it and succeeding is more than enough reason that you too can.
Yeah, it shouldn't be our first option, because if we give up at the first sight of problem, then we would never achieve anything.
This is Soo trueee "the most challenging times often lead to the most significant moments of our life" we wouldn't know what awaits at the end of we give up easily. That is why it we better keep on moving! 🤘
That is exactly right, Jinifer! Happy New Year🥰
Mother's blessings are very much required in our life. It helps us face the challenges of life. If our parents are happy, all Gods and Goddesses are pleased.
Yeah, we should honour and love them so our days are longer
Rest if you're tired but never give up and never surrender :) Your mom is lucky to have you.
Thank you, Jasglaybam🥰
My pleasure :)
Correct, Just fight as you can. Stand strong giving up is not the option so what's the reason for giving up. And terms of those who give up in life and commit suicide, ' oh it's not the answer, life will continue but don't end it by your hand. Nice article mate☺
Giving up can sometimes lead to ending one's life, because you have lost sight of any possibilities of hope.
Yeah correct. , that's because of Depression that the person felt that time.
Giving up will never be a solution nor option. We should erase the word give up in our mind. Get some rest and continue again.
Yeah, it would be a better option to simply rest, and try again than giving up!
Truly My friend 💖
What ever possible to us , we must do it . The effort is in our hands , rest keep hope for better time . Actually hope gives us courge and braveness to survive . Gives up or loosing hope is another name of death.
Hmm.. What more can I say? This life is meant to be enjoyed. Heaven exists in this world so does hell. It's up to you to choose if you'll dwell in two heavens or two hells or alternate locations haha. Life is beautiful for those who are brave enough to remove their blindfolds. Challenges aren't death sentences, they're opportunities to grow.
I couldn't agree with you more, Layla! Thank you
I almost feel giving up, stress is pushing me but my spirit in writing keep on fighting that is why I'm still here😅. It's really hard to manage everything, but I just need a moment to pause to regain more energy and enthusiasm.
Yeah it can be difficult to juggle writing and interacting here with our daily activities, and sometimes it can make us feel like giving up. But we shouldn't give up, instead we should focus on the reward/prize at the end.
Happy belated birthday to your mum. I agree with not giving up till the last minute. It builds character and brings out the best in us
Thank you Daria
I agree Oikawa. We should never give up. You will be lose if you give up. You are the one who will suffer and struggling the things that's why it's really important we should learn to fight for. We should be brave no matter what happens. It's for our own sake. Walk without fears. Challenges are only a test. It's part in our life. It's depend on how we handle it that's why we should be strong enough to face the life and never give up.
We should focus more on the beautiful moments we have to keep pushing us forward, cause the bad ones will weigh us down and will make us give up on life easily.
Great piece @oikawa. I have learnt in recent times that I should never give up. And when I keep on persevering I end up achieving my goal
I read a quotes before that says " a quitter never wins and winner never quits". So we should not give up whatever we wanted, just trust HIM and of course work for it It would eventually happened.
Irrespective of the challenges I'm going through, giving up is never an option. At least not in this life time...haha
My dear friend, you said very well, I think in difficult situations, our only option should be to try and not give up. The day we surrender, we are no longer alive.
My thoughts exactly, Ellen!
giving up shouldn't be in any option... always strive hard.. always try.. no matter what never ever give up.
This is well written dear, we should focus on things that will help us grow and makes us happy, not those things tht could just stress ourselves out. We need to live the life to the fullest. We should always do things that makes us happy.
My thoughts exactly, MidnightSky! Happy New Year to you
That's great 😊,who gives up in life....lose because life is too sweet to give up on
Hehe, that is true Jeff😁
Don't give,if you buried a child keep the faith if we lose a job keep,if you breaks down from your heart keep the faith and worked hard or hard as you can and be a champion.We have to set for every situation of our life
I agree that the previous year had been tough and was full of challenges, but you're right, we shouldn't give up and continue life with confidence and strengths we need. Thanks for this article, you got me motivated!
Thanks for the beautiful quotes and Happy birthday to your mum. I believe readcash made the gift possible.
