We all have moments when we feel defeated…
When we feel like there is no reason to keep trying or to pursue the dreams that have been placed deep down within us.
But there is always a reason to keep trying and to keep believing. Instead of encouraging you to come up with a Plan B when something doesn’t work out the way that you planned, we want to give you 11 things to remember to encourage you when you get discouraged.
1. You are on the brink of your breakthrough.
“When you get into a tight place, and everything goes against you till it seems as if you couldn’t hold on a minute longer, never give up then, for that‘s just the place and time that the tide ‘ll turn.”
~Harriet Beecher Stowe
2. Your persistence is the key to success. Never back down.
“Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan Press On! has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.” ~Calvin Coolidge
3. Defeats may come, but that is apart of the process. Where there is no process, there is no gain.
“You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it.” ~Maya Angelou
4. When you are most discouraged, that’s when you need to push through the hardest.
“If you are going through hell, keep going.” ~Winston Churchill
5. Even when you get down, keep working and trying. It will pay off. Don’t stop.
“It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.” ~Confucius
6. The darkness always comes before the dawn. When you want to give up, that’s when you know you are close.
“Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.”~Thomas Edison
7. Defeat is prove that you are trying. Anything worth accomplishing is hard to do.
“Never confuse a single defeat with a final defeat.” ~F. Scott Fitzgerald
8. Never underestimate the small actions you are making towards your dream, even when you feel defeated.
“The man who moves a mountain begins by carrying away small stones.” ~Confucius
9. Realize the most persistent and resilient are the ones to achieve their dreams.
“Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go.”~William Feather
10. Don’t rely on others to help you achieve your dream and don’t get discouraged when something doesn’t work out. There is always another way.
“We will either find a way or make one.” ~Hannibal
11. When David faced Goliath, it seemed impossible for him to defeat him. But guess what? He knocked him out. He did it. You too can do anything that you put your mind to do. Don’t give up.
“It always seems impossible until it’s done.” ~Nelson Mandela
Always stay hungry and stay foolish.
Be the reason someone says, “Because of you, I decided not to give up on my dream.”
