POEMS COURTESY OF BLOSSOM

Never Give Up

Giving up is the act of losing our insights because things don’t work according to plans. In life, there are certain things we go through to achieve our desired results which I tag; “The Test of Faith” and they help in getting us better, stronger and giving us more determination to scale us through.

Men might taunt, despise and hurt you, but don’t give up because they only help in bringing your goals nearer, they’re helping you to get closer to a better you when you don’t give in to their negativity but rather transforming and repositioning how it affects and shape your mind.

Failures isn’t meant to make us feel bad but are meant to point out our weaknesses and work on it. Our past should be an avenue for making huge success, using it as a strengthening force towards our goals. George S. Patton once said “Accept the challenges so that you can feel the exhilaration of victory”.

We should cultivate the habit of perseverance and not negligence, be optimistic, open to criticism. Sometimes criticism help to point out our errors, instead of being upset we should sit and think to know how true it is and work towards it.

Mahatma Gandhi quoted “Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony”. Well that’s one-man wise man’s definition.

Remember no successful man became successful without encountering trials and tribulations, breakdown, criticism, pains, regret, challenges and betrayals but they all turned their pains to a strengthening force, NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS.
