7 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULDN'T GIVE UP
Life: the one thing in the universe that holds
true intrinsic value. It perplexes me when
someone is willing to give up on it. People
commit suicide each and every day – not only
the type of suicide that stops the beating
heart. People choose to stop living more
regularly than you'd expect.
Losing the will to live is, unfortunately,
common: It not only afflicts those who find
themselves in difficult situations, but also
those who seem to have everything they could
possibly ask for. Living life happily isn't as
easy as it should be, but I'm sorry to say that
is our very own fault and no one else's.
Sure, life will throw you curveballs almost
religiously, but whether you choose to swing
the bat or walk back to the bench is entirely
up to you. Life isn't supposed to be entirely
pleasant – it never will be, for anyone ever.
You will always find yourself pushing ahead
against resistance and that will never change.
If it feels like things get easier as you get
older, it's only because you aren't pushing as
hard as you used to.
Hopefully, this is because you've managed to
achieve all those things you hoped for in life.
It's possible – you can have your cake and
eat it, too. You can have a better life. You can
be happier. It's attainable for every person in
the world with a healthy body and mind.
Moreover, giving up on life is literally the most
illogical thing a person could ever do. If you're
giving up on your life then I'm afraid you're
one of the dumbest people on the planet.
Here's why:
1. This may be all there is.
Put your religious faith aside for a minute and
consider the numbers. What are the chances
that your religion has it right? What are the
chances that the information we are still
missing in the realm of science is likely to
prove your religious beliefs true – to prove
that there is life after death?
I don't want to get into a religious debate, but
no matter what you believe, you have to
accept the fact that you might have it wrong.
Your ancient text might have it wrong. This
may actually be all the living that you will ever
experience. You can believe what you like, but
facts are facts. Just as it can't (yet) be
proven that there is a God, there can't (yet)
be proven that there isn't one.
Don't take a gamble and live the one life you
have half-assed, assuming that you'll do better
in your afterlife, or second life, or whatever
the heck you think happens after you die. The
truth is that the numbers aren't in your favor.
Consider that for a second before you keep
wasting your life.
2.There is always – and I mean always – a
solution to any problem.
It may not be the solution you are looking for,
but it will get the job done. The trick is
coming up with that solution. How you come
up with that depends on you and the problem
itself. However, knowing that there is a
solution to any problem that you may have
should come as a relief.
Problems have the uncanny ability to make us
feel hopeless, trapped. But you aren't trapped;
there is a solution. There is a way out of your
predicament – your situation. You just need to
spend some time figuring out what you need
to do in order to get to where you want to be.
Laziness is a poor excuse to give up on living.
3. Success is inevitable for those who are
smart and don't give up.In theory, achieving success is rather simple.
You have a goal or a destination you want to
reach. You have a path or direction of getting
there. The only thing you need to do is keep
moving in that direction until you get where
you need to go. Of course, the path that you'll
need to take will involve a lot of trial and
error, a lot of dead ends and U-turns.
What you need to keep in mind is that all
those mistakes you make along the way are
necessary for you to get to where you need to
be. It's really the mistakes that we can't
succeed without because it's the mistakes
that teach us necessary lessons. Be smart
and learn from your mistakes. Keep forging
ahead. You can't fail.
4. A helping hand can always be found if
needed.I know that it can often seem appealing to go
about life on your lonesome. It can often be
the smarter choice. However, there do come
times in our lives when we need others in
order to get to the next chapter. Such
individuals can be found – you just have to be
willing to look in places that you wouldn't
expect.
People can often surprise us once we get to
know them. We just have to be willing to get
to know them. Mutually beneficial
relationships are what actually make the world
go round. Without them, it would be a much
more cutthroat world than it already is.
5. What gives life meaning is the struggle that
we live through.I know it may seem silly at the moment, but
consider how your life would be if you never
had to struggle with anything, ever. Imagine if
everything you wanted would just fall at your
feet – you never have to work hard for
anything in your life. It seems like a dream
come true. Until you realize how incredibly
boring such a life really is.
As human beings, we need to feel challenged.
We need to feel that we have accomplished
something and the only way to feel as if you
have accomplished something is by having to
struggle in order to get there. Without
struggle, life wouldn't be worth living.
You'll one day look back at your life and look
back at all your struggles with a smile. Some
you surely overcame and others you likely
didn't, but you're smiling because you're still
alive and breathing. You're stronger than you
know.
6. You are capable of having full control over
your reality.Your life is what you perceive it to be and
nothing else. All you experience in life, all the
things you do, all the things you see, all the
things you live through, all of that only has
meaning if you give it meaning. Otherwise, it's
nothing more than a blink in time. Because so
little has meaning outside of us, you can
choose to give meaning to whatever you'd
like.
More importantly, you can choose to accept
that certain things in life are completely
meaningless and deserve none of your
attention or worry. It may seem difficult to
imagine yourself having such control over your
reality and your life – it's not easy – but with
practice, it's possible.
7. There is a purpose for each of us waiting to
be found.
But that purpose isn't somewhere out there in
the world. It's inside of you. You need to take
time to explore what you believe holds
importance in life. What exactly that entails is
up to you, but know that it is there to be
found.
To live is to be capable of creating change.
What you want to change and how you want
to change it is what defines your life and the
person you are.
SO YOU HAVE NO REASON WHATSOEVER TO GIVE UP..
