When To Give Up

Good morning,

We made it to Friday! Today’s topic is on my mind this week because of conversations with friends facing various employment related challenges. When bombarded by adversity, this question often comes to mind.

When to give up?

The answer is as simple as it may be difficult. Never.

Don’t give up your dreams. Don’t give up your goals. Don’t give up your faith in yourself. You are the only person guaranteed to always be there to cheer you on - or discourage you if you let that happen.

It’s so easy to get discouraged in today’s economy. The phrase “I can’t” (that should be erased from our vocabulary) starts to take hold. I can’t possibly...close enough sales, start my own business, find a new job, achieve my dreams. Actually - yes you can (eventually), no matter how unlikely or even impossible the goal seems.

The question is: how many times are we willing to hear “no” before we get to “yes.” The answer had better be, “as many as it takes” or we probably won’t get there.

I’ve talked to people lately who aren’t looking for jobs because they hear there aren’t any available. Okay sure, I know the statistics and, yes, they may be against you. But if you don’t enter the race you have no chance to win.

So if there’s something you want to do – at home or at work – don’t give up! And have a sunny day.

Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent." Calvin Coolidge, 30th President of the United States (1872 - 1933)
