JOURNAL: NOT GIVING UP

Giving up.

Many times i come across this word and deeply sigh.  this sigh comes from my heart, my exhausted body, and my unwillingness to endure.  why struggle?  what’s the point?  everything has a tendency to fail, even the best fall.  

Waving a white flag at life is the easiest way to solve things.  just stand there and let these roadblocks pass or be okay with living with these roadblocks until the end of time.  is this okay?

No. No, it is not.

i refuse to give up.  waiting for misfortunes pass away or being content to live with these restraints is a mistake.  breezing through life will never help reach full potential.  each of us are created with so much individuality and special talents, so why put them to waste?  why allow growing pains stop you from reaching your best?  

Don’t stop trying until the apex.  struggling builds character, teaches precious lessons, and amazes people.  instead of sighing to “struggle,” i will grin.  there is a roadblock, but when i successfully climb it, i will use it to jump to my next potential.  

Never will i raise a white flag.  keep fighting.  have good faith.

Every day, God gives us the sun – and also one moment in which we have the ability to change everything that makes us unhappy. Every day, we try to pretend that we haven’t perceived the moment, that it doesn’t exist – that today is the same as yesterday and will be the same as tomorrow. But if people really pay attention in their everyday lives, they will discover that magic moment. It may arrive in the instant when we are doing something mundane, like putting our front-door key in the lock; it may lie hidden in the quiet that follows the lunch hour or in the thousand and one things that all seems the same to us. But that moment exists – a moment when all the power of the stars becomes a part of us and enables us to perform miracles.

Joy is sometimes a blessing, but it is often a conquest. Our magic moment help us to change and sends us off in search of our dreams. Yes, we are going to suffer, we will have difficult times, and we will experience many disappointments – but all of this is transitory it leaves no permanent mark. And one day we will look back with pride and faith at the journey we have taken.

I could have. What does this phrase mean? At any given moment in our lives, there are certain things that could have happened but didn’t. The magic moments go unrecognized, and then suddenly, the hand of destiny changes everything.
