If you have nothing to lose, why not keep going? Why not keep trying? It’s easy to give up when there is nothing at stake. If you are in a swimming pool, the edge is always within reach. But if you are in the middle of the ocean, you can’t give up. You have to keep going to reach the shore. If something truly matters to you, you need to keep moving forward.
You might feel that you can’t keep going, that it is all just too much. But all you need to do is take the next step and only the next step. You might feel like you have failed and that things are as bad as they can get. But all these means is that it’s time to try again. Just one step. Even if you are tired and overwhelmed, you can take another step in the right direction. Don’t think about what comes next. Just take one step at a time and you can walk an entire road without losing courage. You never know what you might reach when you move forward. The next door, the next opportunity, the next road might be the right one. You never know, and you will never know if you give up.
Giving up is easy, but it brings no rewards and many regrets. We can’t have a strong relationship, an achievement, a creative project, or anything else without putting in the work. Your tries are not useless. They are sure to be rewarded in the end. Just keep going, even if it’s hard. It is better to try now than to regret it later on because we all know that regret is the most painful thing in this world.
Anything worthwhile takes effort. It might be hard now, but it will all pay off in the end. Just keep going. Think that whatever you’re going through now will be temporary, but the results you achieve, your experience, and your strength will stay with you forever. You can give up at any time, but then your efforts will be wasted. Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all. Just keep going and hope until the world is tired of our optimism.
