Here are 5 things you need to remember when you feel like giving up
It’s not that you can’t but it’s just that you can’t yet!
Sometimes we feel that we can’t do something, but if you look back at all your accomplishments, you started when you didn’t know that you would definitely do it ! In a ted talk by psychologist,Carol Dweck, it opens your eyes to the power of yet. It is important to have a growth mindset which will help us to realise that whatever we have now, our job, our skills, our knowledge, abilities, is not the final thing, but it is changeable and there is always scope for progress. What we need to develop is a growth mindset, which will help to take on challenges and look at them as opportunities, but most of us have a fixed mindset which makes us think that what we have is all that we have and we can't do anything else, that is what makes us feel that it's time to quit.
But when we keep reminding ourselves that I may not be able to do it yet, but I'm learning all the skills I need to do it, we will be able to cultivate the growth mindset which will help us see the opportunity in every setback.
Look at how far you have come, not how far you still need to go!
It’s easy to say let’s go back, we have given enough to this endeavour, but when we look back and realise how we learnt a lot and the distance ahead is way less than what we have already come, it will be easy to go on further without feeling disappointed .
One way to keep the motivation alive is by having check points on the way of your goals and rewarding yourself when you have managed to reach one of those milestones. Because although the journey is lonely, we need to keep the encouragement and faith in ourselves strong to make it to the finish line.
Everyone has their own pace-
Sometimes, when we compare our life to other’s life, how much they have achieved, they are of the same age but have achieved a lot more than us, it is natural to become disappointed.
We keep wondering whether we will ever achieve anything at all, we doubt our ability, our luck , all sorts of questions arise, but we have to remember that everyone is unique in their own way, and life has its own way of unfolding things, patience is the key.
Everyone has their own timeline, and if we keep comparing a born billionaire who has everything handed over to them to someone who is starting from scratch that is completely unfair. There are advantages each one of us have which are unique to us, these are the unfair advantages and these are what make the journey different for each of us. Remember the hare and the tortoise story? Even though nature has given them both different qualities, slow and steady is the key to the finish line.
Accepting that we have our own timeline, and we all have the same journey but some journeys are longer and some are short. But as long as we are moving in the right direction, there is nothing to worry about.
Persistence is the answer-
A river cuts through rock, not because of its power, but because of its persistence- James N. Watkins
When we think about success or successful people, what comes to mind? A person who reached the mountain top, a person receiving applause in front of a large audience, or a person with an extremely beaming happy face right? All we imagine and see is only this. Who wouldn’t want a moment like that ? but what we don't realise is the hundreds , even thousands of hours of hard work and sweat behind one such moment which doesn't even last a few minutes! We don’t see the behind the scenes right?
So achieving success in health, career, family life or anything at all- everything requires persistence ! Of course some people are merely lucky and they don't have to work so hard to get to a point, they are exceptions, but for most of us, including you and me, there is no magic pot! There is only one thing that will help us to reach our goals and that is putting in the work consistently !
It is okay to feel overwhelmed at times,but never let temporary setbacks deter you from pursuing your dreams or dreams, keep reminding yourself all the challenges you faced in the past, how far you've come and keep pushing forward until you achieve what you set your heart on!
