Never Giving Up: Overcoming Life's Challenges

"Have you ever given up in your life? What motivated you to rise again?"

In this journey of life, giving up is not an option. Life demands more from us, and it's our responsibility to continue moving forward. My children's well-being, ensuring they are fed, have a roof over their heads, and are educated, drove me to persist.

And sometimes, we go too far. I remember a moment when I completely shut down and felt like giving up everything. However, just as she said, 'what happens when an unstoppable force meets an unmovable object…' That's an interesting question. He went on to say, 'No!'

She went on, visibly exasperated, I meant to say is that not all questions have answers! There's truth in that. All questions do have answers, at least in the origin of the question. Why are we faced with this question now and what gave rise to it?

Understanding the Self and Life Conditions

True persistence is not about simply continuing to struggle, but rather, it's about solving the self-induced euphoria. It's the realization of giving up the illusion that binds us to the living conditions of our lives. Freedom comes from freeing your mind from these self-imposed conditions.

I often push myself to new limits, experiencing a sense of freedom from time to time. My previous partner once accused me of being irresponsible or not a man at all. However, these experiences have taught me the value of perseverance.

Beyond Giving Up

Giving up can be seen as the perfect reboot or prayer. It's like taking a deep breath, wiping the slate clean, and stepping outside for a walk. While I have faced some very difficult times in my life, I have never simply given up. Instead, I have made adjustments and changed my thought direction to try and improve my situation.

Every choice or decision we make in life has two potential outcomes - one that improves our lives and one that makes it worse. We learn from our mistakes, and if one thing doesn't work, we give it some thought and try something else. This mindset has served me well, and I am now happily retired. It shows that giving up is sometimes the best decision, as it can lead to a fresh start and a new perspective.
