Don't give up!

We all at different points of our lives are bound to exceed our elastic limits towards our breakpoints.

These moments of our lives are the most trying and testing times. Times where and when everything doesn't seem to go according to how we plan, think, or foresee them to go. At this very point, we all will solely agree that some extra strengths, efforts, motivations, and encouragements are needed in other to overcome this phase of life.

The saying "When the going gets tough, the tough get going" comes into play. It takes a stronger and determined person to see the light in this phase of life. During these moments, nothing seems to make sense or meaning to us anymore, we really do not want to care what happens to us or our loved ones at this particular point and stage of life. This can happen at different points, stages, and times of our lives the scarier it gets. No one wants to be placed under duress or tension. We all want and crave a smooth ride in life, peace inclusive.

Life they say is not a bed of roses remember, so you need to be always prepared for this varied phase of life, In the area of your career, relationships, goals, businesses, and many more.

when life gives you a lemon, don't just make lemonade, be enterprising enough to make out lemon juice, and drinks. On the verge of giving up is a place where all hope is lost, It is a place where we tend to be in "total darkness" of every possible solution and answers to whatsoever we are going through at that particular point in time, It is a place where all options, ideas, and contributions have been exhausted. Emotions roll out during this period, and you must know that it is always okay to let out all emotions as it helps heal faster.

This phase of life is a time when you must at every point try to be calm and patient because right in that calmness or patience solutions, ideas, visions are birthed. All you need in this time of giving up is your quiet time. A worrying mind and heart can't see the best results during this period, rather all that happens is taking steps that will eventually become a mistake, decisions that will in the long run turn out to be wrong.

On the verge of giving up. It is very okay to take few steps backward when in this phase of life. This is the best time to go back to the drawing board and check out all the steps you've taken, you will be surprised your answers might lie just right there. Take few steps backward, check out where you start out from, what you did, how you went about all you did, each of your results at a different point and stages before getting to this phase, If all that is done and you still can't see anything positive then it is time to source out solutions outwardly; You can engage the use of educational materials, mentorship, advises, motivation, funding and many more.

There is always a light at the very end of the tunnel. It doesn't really matter how far or long the tunnel might be, but right at the end of it is awaiting brighter light just for you. Whenever you are on the verge of giving up, all you need to do is to make sure you don't give up! Quitters don't last! Never say never! Embrace been calm and patient in the midst of the storm even when it's not easy or seems impossible.

Right on the verge of giving up is not the place to give up!
