How Not To Give Up

Have you ever have that feeling of Not to Give Up and not known the next step? This is pretty tough if it is personal, work or in sport. Yet, it is all in our mind. It really is. We have this mindset that it cannot be done and yet...We give into our mind saying Give Up.

When you come to this situation, it is not just about why you should give up. What you need to think about is.

Why Did You Start?

This is where you need to sit back for a little while and make you think about why did you start on this project or goal. 

We all have dreams and ideas, and just remember you're not alone. Everything in this world is started on a goal. Computers, the car, everything man made was started from a dream and idea. 

And you will find they were probably in this situation, 

• Why should we do this 
• What's the point
• Its to hard, why bother 
• Etc

It's a part of life, it is easy to walk away, but, if you keep digging, it will get you were you need to be.

How did you Start  

This is the easy part, many times we start something without seeing the end in sight. Chances are we start something as it looks good yet we don't know where it is going, it just seems a good idea at the time.

So, if you've in the rut of not wanting to continue, stop, now and rethink of the end of the project where do you want to be.

Make a list and write it down. 

• What did you want
• The Change it would make
• Who would benefit
• How much will it make

Draw up exactly what you want to have at the end.

Some people do not start until they see what it will look like at the end, what it will produce or do. You need to see exactly or as close to what it will look like.  

At present you've thinking what you have done, how it could be going wrong and not knowing the future.

Sit back now and think more about the result what it will give you in satisfaction, money, the future life you will have.

Then

Think back from how you are going to do it backwards. You have what it takes, it maybe costing you more. So, see if you an finance it or get a job to help you out. Find someone you can confide in and discuss your problems and get someone who can be a mentor.

Look for a meetup group or people who have a passion to do things, listen to them and bounce off ideas and look forward.

Yes It is Not Easy

The big thing is giving up is an easy escape. What you need to do is stop, think and restart.

After 4 complete changes in career from Mechanic, to Office job to Regional Manager then start my own business. There were more walls and stop signs that made up life.

Yet, when you figure the problem will still be there tomorrow, the idea is to think forward and keep an eye on what could and may go wrong and figure the fixes.

Your biggest fear is fear itself it is in your head and makes for an easy escape.

Don't think of what others think, people tend to look for the problems, what you need to know is where you will be and work out what you need to do to do it.

Stop stressing and start a fresh. If you have a Give up moment or why am I doing it?

Then don't continue failing. 

Stop and like a computer,  click the reset button. Have a break and always have the goal in mind, and the problem you have now. Is fixable, you just need to think a bit more, get someone you can talk to and share the experience.

Just remember there are 30 Billionaires who came from a broken home, a poor background and they had a goal and did what it takes, and they didn't do it alone.
