Think About It: Are You Going To Surrender Now?
Today is still the fateful day. You fell back, you failed again. No matter how hard you push yourself, you won’t be able to conquer this mountain whose peak contains all your dreams. You know everything takes effort, but you start to think it might be time to surrender. Maybe it’s not worth it anymore …
But, then you begin to remember all the stages of the path. All the effort, the struggle and the steadfastness, all that you have learned, and a small smile crosses your face. You know it was hard, but you also know that even though you haven’t made it to the top, you’ve conquered part of the path, part of your life.
- You are no longer the one who started to climb the mountain. Today you know your limits and you know everything you are capable of. You know you’ve learned a lot in every sense of the word. Yes, you have suffered, but you have also been happy, courageous, you have taken risks and you have overcome many of your fears. This is why we ask you the question: are you going to surrender now?
“A lot of life’s failures happen because people don’t realize how close they are to success when they surrender.”
-Thomas Edison-
Who Said Starting Over Means Failure?
Who Said Starting Over Was Foolish? Surely someone who has visited many times in his life. Someone who is more afraid to fail than to use their courage to face that fear. Someone who is probably one of the least suited people to give advice.
To start again is to dream again, it is to live the life that we are looking for. It’s trying to be what you really want to be. It is only for this reason that it is necessary to continue to insist as many times as necessary. At least until your dreams change. Because it is only like that, without surrendering, that you will be satisfied with yourself, with what you have given. Don’t let anyone tell you that it’s better to resign yourself and go easy rather than strive for what makes you happy.
And if something makes you happy, even if you don’t have it, it will always be worth fighting for. Because in the end, the path will be behind you and forgotten, however tortuous it may be. Our memory remembers the most beautiful moments better, and getting what you want the most will make the bad moments along the way no longer stones, but sand on which to walk barefoot as you recall your experience.
“Never give up on something you can’t stop thinking about every day”.
-Winston Churchill-
To betray yourself is to fail, to start over is to struggle
Uncover from your head the idea that a mistake is a failure or that giving up is necessarily a mistake. Failure means betraying one’s values, preferring conformity to possibility, when the latter is desired. On the other hand, being careful is not a failure. Prudence may, on the contrary, be the smartest option once all the possibilities have been exhausted, or when those which remain to be explored require a very high cost.
“I am not discouraged because every wrong and dismissed attempt is a step forward.”
-Thomas Edison-
Starting over with determination means that suddenly everything becomes simpler because you are wiser. You have lifted the weight of doubts from your head and turned them into a knowledge-rich experience. The options of others, of those who encourage you to surrender, are their opinions and cease to affect you. You begin to live in accordance with what you are feeling.
It is then that you will look behind you and you will say: “I passed over it, I succeeded.”. Because we know you can do it. Because we know that you are stronger than anyone when you fight for what you want and even if today you doubt, believe us, you can! And we also know that it is no accident that you are reading this text today. This is because you are about to touch the top with your fingertips. Keep going a bit more because you’re almost there. Have confidence in yourself and in all that you are worth!
