The Moral of Life Is: Never Give Up!

I was looking at a picture on my wall this morning, you might have seen it yourself.
It's a drawing of a bird trying unsuccessfully to swallow a frog.

The picture illustrates the reason that the bird is not having much success getting this frog down his throat is because the frog is pictured with both his hands clinching the birds by the neck to keep himself from being swallowed.

From all appearances, somethings got to give. Either the bird will get choked to death, or he will spit the frog out and let it go. Or the frog will let loose his choke hold and be swallowed or eaten by the bird. The title of the picture is "Don't Ever Give Up!" ... LOL!

If you are trying to achieve success at anything, the first thing you must commit to is that no matter what, you won’t give up. You have to tell yourself that there’s no way you’re going to let yourself fail, no matter what happens. You have to believe that you will never give up.

The path to success is a long and winding road. There will be ups and downs. It will be somewhat easy for some people and it will be very difficult for others. And then for everyone else achieving success will be somewhere in between. But one thing that’s certain is if you’re going to be successful then you can’t give-up.

It takes all different kinds of people to achieve success.

Some people went to college and studied hard for many years. These people got their Bachelor’s, and their Master’s, and some even got their Doctorate Degree. And then they finally ventured out on their own and now they are very successful.

Other people begin their journey to success much sooner. Some people drop out of college and some even drop out of high school. They know what they want and they go for it with unwavering passion and dedication. And without a solid education, these people become successful.

So you have people who are very well-educated and people who aren’t educated hardly at all who both become successful. These people have very little in common. But they do have something in common that is the most important ingredient to being successful. They are all very successful because they didn’t give up.
When every thing else is stripped away, that’s what’s truly important. If you want to be successful, you can never give up. This sounds simple and it can be, but often it’s much easier said than done.

It can be a daily struggle to always stay committed to success andnot to allow yourself to give into thoughts of doubt. Sometimes things will get so bad that you think there’s no possible way you’ll be successful with what you’re trying to do. You’ll curse yourself for even trying to do what it is you’re doing. You’ll begin to think of ways to stop trying and to move onto something else. You'll fall into the "grass is greener" trap and lose focus.

Don’t let this happen to you. Know that the number one thing that it takes to be successful is perseverance. You can’t give up. You have to keep striving and believing. You have to keep yourself on the "right path" by finding out what are the right things to do and then doing them correctly and consistently without distraction. And you must have faith, tempered with patience, that what you're doing will have the desired outcome in a reasonable amount of time.
Because in the end, if you don’t believe in yourself, no one else will either. But if you do believe in yourself, and if you refuse to ever give up, then others will start believing in you too. And before you know it, you’ll be truly successful. So make sure you don’t ever give up.
Peace and Blessings,
