Giving Up

I've determined that absolutely the easiest thing to do in life is to give up.  Why?  Glad you asked.  Giving up means you don't have to take responsibility for failure.  If you don't try, then how can you fail?  Life is hard enough, right?  Everyone fails.  Successful people fail.  Failure is just part of the human condition.  There are no perfect people walking this earth.  We all have issues in our life that help determine decisions we make.  Where would we be had Thomas Edison failed?  He did.  Many times, but he never gave up. We'd still be using candles had he taken the easy route. I wouldn't be typing on this computer looking at my screen that uses lights.  There are too many examples to list of those who've failed, but eventually succeeded.  Their tenacity and desire allowed them to succeed, profoundly impacting the rest of the human race.  I've heard it said that every great invention started with a thought in the head of one individual.  You can make a difference. It always starts with just a thought.  The difference between those who succeed and those who fail is the simple fact that those who succeed never give up.  It's okay to fail, as long as you learn from your failures and use what you've learned to succeed.  I think most successful people will tell you that the most enjoyable part of the process is the process itself.  There is joy in the destination, but the journey is what makes it sweet.  So, never give up.  If you fail, GET up.  Learn. Start over.  Your dreams are worth the effort.
