Don't Give Up, Keep Trying

Sometimes our efforts seem to meet with resistance and failure so frequently that it can feel pointless to keep trying. To say this is disappointing is a vast understatement. In fact, when we run into this reality the primary challenge is to keep trying because the inclination to give up becomes so powerful.

These kinds of thoughts enter our minds, “Why should I keep banging my head against the wall? Just settle for something less.”

Since I have had the experience which I describe above on more than a few occasions, I found myself agreeing with and finding an unusual form of challenge and inspiration in this quote from Winston Churchill:  “Success is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.”
