Don’t Give Up to Your Own Persistency
Life is like waves on the ocean, full of ups and downs. The road to success is full of challenges, and most of the time we failed not because we cannot do it, but because we choose to give up.
Life is short, so recognize your past, plan for your future, but treasure the present moment. I believe your success is on your way.
People always say that “persistence is the key to victory”. Most of the time, we failed not because we are incapable but it is simply because we are not persistent. To give up is so easy than to continue. We might be envy at other people’s success, but are not willing to put more efforts, to try a little bit harder.
As human, we always want to do a lot of things. I truly believe that we have the capability to complete what we want to do. Problem is, it always takes a long time to see the results. Along the way, we may lose our patient (or our initial passion). We simply give up half-way and give ourselves an excuse that the goal is beyond our capability to complete (so it makes us feel better to give up).
What’s more, people always like to plan, but never make their first step to try. We are afraid, then we tried to find excuses, convince ourselves that the plan will fail somehow, before we even try it. We get envious and jealous when we see others achieve something that we failed to achieve. We hate ourselves for being timid, for being unwilling to make the first move, and for not being persistence.
We may have told ourselves, for more than ten thousand times, to hold on to not give up even though the road is bumpy. We should keep digging until we find a way. We always said,
“yeah~, I have finally made up my mind, I have a good plan, I will do it.”,
but the idea of giving up always pop up from time to time. At the end, all the determinations and plans we have earlier, are all in vain.
We can always find a dozen of excuses to give up. But we can’t even find ourselves a reason to continue on. There are fight between an angle and a devil in our mind. The angel will always tell us to be persistent, to hold on, to try some more, yet the devil will always use many plausible deceiving words to make ourselves to give up. And, we always choose to listen to the devil despite all the efforts we have devoted previously. Even though we will regret later, but it is never our fault. We will blame the devil: it is the devil that makes us to give up, we have been deluded by the lie of the devil. We screamed in our heart: next time, we will not listen to the devil anymore. But guess what, the devil will still succeed the next time.
Hey boys, hey girls, let’s face it, the devil is not the root cause of our failure, we failed to our own im-persistency.
Do we still want to be a loser? If yes, forget about all the excuses. Admit our weakness, accept our weakness, and overcome it. Our life is on our hand, we should be in control of our life. Why we should give up ourselves because of those lies that we are trying to deceive ourselves. We are more than capable; nothing is going to stop us if we have strong determination and be persistent. Never let failure be our excuses, but a steppingstone to the success.
Hold on until you see the success.
