I have been trying to write since early in the morning and have not been able to finish the article I want to publish today. Not because I am too lazy to write. I do want to write and I started to deal with a very important topic that I have had in mind for days but due to the circumstances that delayed my publication, I had to change the topic that I had originally prepared.
Early in the morning, I had prepared my workplace, with a cup of coffee in hand I was ready to write and when I had my hands on the keyboard the electric power went out. Here in my community, it is a common occurrence, I would say that not only in my area but throughout the country, every day we have two or more hours without power service. The power actually came back on after two hours.
- Now I am going to write: I said to myself, somewhat encouraged.
Again with another cup of coffee, I started to write and I had not yet written almost nothing, I would say about a paragraph developed, when suddenly my computer crashed and the worst thing is that I could not save what I had already advanced. I restarted the system, opened my file and I had nothing, a blank page. I was disappointed with myself for not having taken the foresight to save the document, what I had already written was lost. But since I didn't want to start over, or rather, I didn't want to stress myself out, I thought better of it and closed everything, turned off the computer, and went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.
But those two inconveniences made me spend the whole day without wanting to write. In the afternoon I went to the gym and released stress. Going to the gym makes me feel good, even though my body is a little sore. I came home with positive energy. I was ready to start the article with my third attempt of the day. It was at that moment that I thought better of it and changed the topic I had started in the morning.
I thought about the people who make several attempts at some activity, but their plans fall through, they fail and don't continue, they give up. Many times we give up after having failed several times and some people even with just the first failure do not want to try again.
Perhaps the goals that sometimes we have set for ourselves, goals that you have proposed in your studies, in your work, in business, in your spiritual life, in your marriage, in so many things after some beginnings you have wanted to throw in the towel and not keep trying. Maybe you are tired of trying and failing, don't give up, don't give up!
Life is full of difficulties, of defeats, do not let discouragement fill your head, your mind, of things that make you give up, let's keep going, let's not stay on the ground until we fall into misfortune. Just as it happened to me today with so many inconveniences to write, many of you will also have your own stories, many will have fallen in the attempt to write, but here we are, insisting and moving forward, but how many will have given up, they no longer publish anything, they left defeated. Do not let your mind make you feel defeated. Get up and continue towards the goal, let's get up, it hurt us, we stopped writing for a while and we are not so productive, it's ok, but let's get up again and continue towards the goal, the objective you set every month, little by little you are advancing, and I will do the same. We are a team. We will encourage each other.
So get up, keep going and shine!

We just have to plod on... There will be times when we need a break, but we should not forget what we were pursuing when the obstacle presented itself.
