Whether the road ahead is easy or difficult should not be used as an indication for if the original decision was right or wrong.
I think many people have the mentality that a right path is always the easy path. When encountered difficulties, they think that the original choice must have been wrong. Or, at least somewhere along the way, there must have been mistakes or else it should be smooth sailing.
One of the biggest lies that people have bought into is that at certain point in our lives, we lose control of what’s happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate.
Stop giving up!
I get very worked up when talking to people who with the attitude of giving up. You see their life, and they’ve already checked out. Going on about the days just surviving. Exactly, just surviving to die. Instead of living. Instead of staying in the game, they’ve became a spectator on the bench.
Door won’t open? Keep knocking.
Dream seems so far away? Keep running.
Can’t find the solution? Keep seeking.
Sure there is a difference between pursuing for your ego, vs. pursuing for your passion, and I am talking about passion here. I’ve seen more people giving up pursuing for the passion in exchange for pursuing their ego.
I’ve read in a book before that, walls in our journey to our dream are there to test just how badly we want to realize the dream. Have the faith that moves mountains. Faith that stops the earth from rotating.
Don’t check out just because you are old, you’ve hit a bump or you’ve hit a wall. Don’t throw the towel in just because an interviewer gave you a no. Don’t believe in the lies.
Live until you drop dead. Don’t go down without a fight.
