Pain is a part of life. It’s what makes us who we are. We all struggle with pain, whether it is physical or mental, or emotional, or spiritual. And sometimes that pain can be so hurtful, that we just want to give up. We want to give up because it is the easier path and takes less effort to endure then to struggle through with the pain.
Everyone at some stage feels like their situation is just too hard, and that they can’t keep going. We want to just stop; stop trying, and stop putting in effort. Even though deep down, we know that if we keep going, and keep pushing through, the struggle will eventually come to an end, and things will be resolved. But we still want to give up.
We must remember why; why we started in the first place, and why we can’t give up. For some it may be family or friends or a better life or success. These are some of the things that drive people to do what they do, and continue to push through their struggles.
It may feel like it’s futile; just too hard to endure, but if we just give up, what part of our future are we giving away. The truth is, we can’t see the whole picture. We can’t see how close we are to success or that breakthrough we’ve been fighting for. Keep holding on and persevering through the struggle, because you don’t know how close you are to success.
Don’t give up. We’ve got this.
