Giving Up Is For Wimps
Author: Demond L. Jackson

What is it about giving up that provides temporary relief of
obstacles? Obstacles have a very important role in helping us
stay focused and committed to our goals. I believe that
obstacles are meant to help us strengthen our resolve to win.
Winning is the objective, isn?t it? So what happens when you
give up? Why do our minds find it so convenient to quit when
the going gets tough?

Many are of the illusion that life is supposed to be easy. It?s
not. The difficult fact it that life is hard for everyone. The
main ingredient to all successful people is they are unwilling
to ever give in to the stress and pressures of life. When
setbacks and disappointments occur (as they will from time to
time) this is the time to strengthen your resolve to win. It
is never alright to give up on your dreams and goals. How will
you know what you can achieve if you give up before you win?
Billionaire philanthropist and Presidential candidate H. Ross
Perot said, ?Most people stop digging three feet from the
goldmine.? Wow!!

In your personal life, what are the goldmines you are digging
for? For some it may be to develop a strong family life, for
others to start that business. Whatever your personal goldmine
is, I ask you to develop the drive to say, ?The hell with
obstacles.? I know there is nothing we can do to permanently
rid ourselves of obstacles. However, we can be so thick skinned
that we refuse to allow our obstacles stop us. That is what I?m
asking of you today. I?m asking you to have the attitude that
you will not quit three feet from your goldmine. I?m asking you
to persist till the end.

Success is available to everyone, including you. The only thing
that can hinder your success ultimately is you. When bad things
come to us, we must creatively find a way to overcome them. We
can do it. Bishop T.D. Jakes says ?the fact that you have a
dream is the evidence that you have what it takes to achieve
it.? With that said, never allow anyone or anything to cause
you to stop digging for your personal goldmine. Success in any
area of your life is totally possible for you if you will never
give up.

Remember to never give up!
