“Never give up!” This is the first phrase we hear from our friends and family whenever we’re going through something. It’s a phrase that everyone is familiar with. When we’re in a difficult situation, giving up is the first thing we think about because it just seems like it’s the easiest way out. Giving up means ending all the sorrow and pain once and for all. However, when we give up, we do not just give up on whatever it is that we’re trying to achieve, we’re giving up on ourselves too. We must view failure as a chance to learn and be better. We have to remember that behind every successful man in this world, are failures and mistakes that lead them to achieve their goals because they did not give up.
Life will never be perfect. We will always go through tough times and nothing is going to be enough. Once we understand this truth, we will learn to focus more on giving our best regardless of what the outcome is. We are not saying that you shouldn’t run after perfection. Of course, it would be wonderful if everything you do is going to be perfect! But the reality is, somewhere along the way there will be obstacles that will try to bring you down. The secret to living a successful and happy life is understanding reality but giving it all at the same time.
Never consider giving up as an option in whatever journey you’re taking right now. Keep on getting up no matter how many times you get knocked down. We collected never give up quotes from people who became who they are because they never gave up in life. We hope you won’t too!
