PATRICK VIEW -THE MINDSET OF DON’T QUIT

 

https://patrickrealstories.files.wordpress.com/2016/01/quit.jpg

Over the time, i personally discovered that there is no  finish line in the race of life.Every body has different stages of living it.

What a life! Life is full of twists, turns, ups and downs, surprises and disappointments. Life offers each and everyone of us different opportunities and once an opportunity is lost, its gone forever.

Its up to us to patiently prepare, wait, recognise and utilize every opportunity that comes our way. We learn on the way.

The following are instances i used to judge on my view about the “don’t quite mindset” which i know i have used alot and it favours me alot. Every body have a time to make it. The instance are listed below:

  1. one person graduates @20yrs and struggle for the next 5yrs to get a job, another graduates @25yrs and gets a job immediately. 
  2. One can marry a virgin and wait for the next decade to have the blessing of Children, while another probably after series of abortions in her past becomes a mother immediately after marriage.
  3. A fellow becomes MD @25yrs and dies @55yrs, another MD @ 55yrs and lives to 90yrs.

Nobody has it all or knows it all. There is a reason why we all don’t fall at the same time, it’s so that when one is down, weak and discourage, the other who is strong can encourage and lift the other.

Although life is complicated, lets learn to go easy on ourselves.

Whatever trials, challenges and down times we face will surely come to pass. And we will be up and strong again to help those that are down around us.

NEVER LOSE HOPE…When the road gets tough have this mindset of don’t quit. we all have a story to tell someday.

May God bless your hustle.

  4. Believe there are those that lack the patience to take the time to achieve their goals… they get upset and they quit before they reach the “finish line”… 🙂

  5. Very thought provoking.
    Yes, the temptation to quit has crossed my mind many times whenever l come up against a block or hurdle. And l guess l am not alone in this. But it’s just a thought that offers itself. Well, l don’t go for it. “Quitters never win” is always close at the heels of that temptation. That spurs me on.

  7. I love your post on “don’t quit” You are right. We have been told again and again; and we have said it again and again, the quitter never wins and the winner never quits. I like the examples you give to make your point. Bravo for a job well done!

  8. Awesome post! You’re totally right.
    1. All of us have a different rhythm and we’re living according to it.
    2. Yes, I sometimes thought of quitting, but then I remembered that nothing can be achieved without some struggle and in this way I find my strength to go forward.

  15. Quitters never win, and winners never quit! If you’re passing a struggling time, it’s fleeting. Have a mind that, “It’s going to be well.”

  20. Quiting is too easy. It is our struggles, our trials and failures that make us stronger, wiser, smarter. Have I thought about giving up? More times than I care to count. Why do I keep going? Because life has strengthen me. I keep going so that I can turn all the “You Can’ts, You Won’ts and You’ll Nevers” into- I can, I will, and Watch Me!

  21. The best thing about not quitting is sharing our live experiences with others. So that we may learn from and strengthen each other. As we have done here. I pray God continues to bless you! You are wise and that will take you far!
    Peace & Blessings,

  22. “There is a reason why we all don’t fall at the same time, it’s so that when one is down, weak and discourage, the other who is strong can encourage and lift the other.”- I am in love with this line.😊

    Did I ever thought of quitting? Yes I do…probably a million times a year. But I guess that pretty much differentiates having thoughts of quitting and actually quitting.

    Because I never stopped pursing things that are actually worth the time and effort.

    I think its probably human nature to harbour such thoughts. But we have to tunnel through everything. We are meant to do something with our life so why quit?
