How To Give Up The Feeling of “I Give Up”? TheWhyCulture

“I quit”… “I give up”…How many times have you said these words to yourself, till now?

Probably, every time when you feel like you are about to fail. No matter how devastating failures can be, it is nothing that can’t be handled. And so, it is better to try again than to give up completely. Giving up pulls you backwards and makes you lose all hope, leaving no room for growth as an individual and also as a human being. If you really wish to give up something, give up those negative feelings which drive you to fail.

Giving up is easy. Struggling for your goals is harder. Everyone has an impulse for urgency. We want quick results. Life has its own challenges, and why not, it is much more satisfying that way. So, everything will come to you and definitely will, but it takes time, a hell lot of time.

Giving up is also suicidal. When we give up, we take away the life from ourselves. All the negativity overshadows us. Just like sand slips away from our fist, our lives start to slip away bit by bit. Failures might throw us into depression longing us to harm ourselves.

But, giving up can also be motivating. It drives us nuts when we fail in job, in relationship, in projects or in promotions. When we give up, we get aggressive and the fire within us burns brighter motivating us to do better and to make it happen the next time. This drive doesn’t come when your emotions are negative. So be optimistic and believe in yourself.

How to drive away the feeling of “I quit”?

When you feel like giving up, ask yourself, “Why do I give up”? Don’t leave the arena so effortlessly. This list down might help you answer:

Be passionate and leave no stones unturned

Passion does not let you sleep and keeps you going till the end. It is that energy which keeps you striving for your goal. If you are passionate for your achievement, no matter what, you won’t rest until you make it happen at any cost. Give your 100% and you will never give up.

Keep the goal alive in you and keep the picture in front

Always nurture your goal and keep reminding yourself of the ultimate destiny that you want for yourself. Whatever challenges and divergence come your way, always remember what your destination is and let it not drift away from yourself. Even if you feel like giving up, your goal will remind you not to give up.

Make a foolproof plan and keep your options open

Nothing in the world comes without an option. What if you fail in this, something else might be much better for you. A good plan always works. Your plan must have a few alternatives, to give you choices.

Take support if necessary

Family and friends give you hope. Share your dreams and don’t ignore any help or support from them. Your caring ones will never let you give up.

Be prepared for failures

Know that nothing comes without a price. Keep in mind that you might fail in your first attempt, and there is no harm in failing a few times. Every success has a story to tell and the stories of failures are what motivated them to succeed. You fail, then you succeed, that’s how it works.

Foresight your thoughts and learn from past

Think ahead and that would help you planning in properly. Segregate those thoughts which seem to have a much higher success rate and will benefit you to achieve your goal. Learn from the mistakes you made the first time and it doesn’t matter if you make a few new ones along the way.

This may not be right for you

It might be possible that what you might be running after, is actually not your thing. It takes a lifetime to know exactly what our right goal is. So, it does not matter to keep shifting your goal. Never shy away from trying new things and keep growing.

Even if you fail, look at the silver lining

It is famously quoted, “it is never the destination, but the journey that is worth telling for”. Make your journey more adventurous and praise the lovely times. Even if you fail, you will know for sure that you had a worthy time trying to achieve it and that’s how you will always be motivated.

Take a step back and start from the top

Rather than losing hope, think over and start again, no matter how many times it takes. You might have to start from the beginning, but, it makes you more polished in your work.
