Rise Up and Live
Life is about not giving up.
Have you ever observed a toddler trying to learn to walk? If you try to count how many times the child falls you'll lose track.
Do babies give up trying to walk because they fall so many times? No.
A baby will fall and cry but soon the pain is forgotten and before you know it, they are up on their feet again.
The cycle continues until they are able to walk.
When we become adults we so often give up when we fall.
We forget that valuable lesson we learned when we were toddlers learning to walk- never give up.
What would happen if a child gives up because of falling so many times? That child would never learn to walk.
So much would be missed.
Life is just the same.
As we walk on our journey we all will stumble and fall.
Stressful events, such as the loss of a job or a loved one, sickness or serious financial problems may leave us feeling discouraged, without the will to go on.
Every day we see what can happen when people give up on their dreams or on life.
Daily we see desperate people begging on the street.
Sadly, statistics show that the rise of people who commit suicide world-wide has risen very high.
All these people probably had hopes and dreams at some point in their lives.
When these were not realised, these people likely felt crushed and resorted to desperate means and finally gave up.
When problems knocks you down, don't stay down.
Whatever setback you experience, say to yourself, I'll walk again no matter what.
Maybe your life has not turned out the way you planned or maybe your dreams have been shattered.
Don't give up, build another dream.
Make the best of the situation you're in now and stop to mourn about lost opportunities grab those that are available now.
Don't be afraid to ask for help.
You must learn to encourage yourself, especially when you feel like giving up.
Repeat to yourself, I can do it.
Even though life is difficult I 'll survive this terrible situation.
If I'll have to do it for the rest of my life I'll keep fighting.
Remember, just because your dreams have not been realised and you are facing difficulties it doesn't mean you're a failure.
Surrendering will make you a failure.
Success may be nearer than you realise.
Always when ever you are about to give up, remember these words, " The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
