The Futility of Giving Up

Ever had that urge to just give up? Felt like that no matter what you did, you would never be able to succeed? That you were just too weak, the whole world seemed against you, and that even those who stood by you could do nothing? That maybe even that God had abandoned you? Welcome to the club.

I think that everyone has experienced something like this at one point in their life, whether they will admit it or not. And honestly, that's okay. Sometimes it just seems that way. But it doesn't mean it's true. And it definitely doesn't mean it's okay to give up. Giving up is never okay - that's quitting, and the only way to lose at this game called life is to quit. Quitting is never an option.

Why is quitting not an option? Because if you quit, you really don't get a second chance. You get one shot at this life, and after that, it's all done. So the best you can do is keep plodding on. We're not here to be perfect in life. We're here to do our best and learn on the way. What is the point of life if we don't learn? Not much, to be honest. So we learn, we grow, we pick ourselves back up, and we try again.

Because giving up is futile.
