Don't push it...

Do you easily give up on your dreams? Or if you want something and tried getting it but failed several times, do you give up or still push yourself hard hoping that someday you might be able to achieve it? I believe that when something is not meant for you then there's no need to push it. Somehow i can sense when a certain object is not for me at all. But i'm not the type of person who would easily give up when i really, really want something so badly. However, when there are signs that it's not really meant for me, i just see no point in pushing myself hard and then get disappointed in the end. I'm not saying we shouldn't try at all, but what i want to say is that we should learn to accept when something is not really meant for us. In short, we need to accept reality even thought it bites sometimes. What do you think?

Honestly, the only time you fail to achieve your dreams is when you give up. Everything in life is a struggle and nothing is given to you. Everyone has their own struggles to face and storms to surpass. Just have a positive spirit and fight on what you want. You only lost in your goals when you give up.

Well, we cant hide from our tormentors forever. We all have to face certain problems or we will regret it for the rest of our lives. It's hard, but everyone has one. i even have my own personal problems but if i keep hiding from the truth, i'll regret it forever.

But then you also have to face reality. There's a big difference between giving up and facing up to reality.

If I want something really bad, I'll do/try anything to get to it but even if I don't I just give up. But then the feelings come back again. There are times when I have wanted to give up on things but couldn't coz I really really want them. I still haven't and there;s this huge dream of mine I'm determined to get to this year. I'm giving my 100%

Good luck. As long as it's meant for you then it would definitely come into place.

It is really lucky that you are able to sense what is not yours. Most of time, people fail to notice that until the last minute T.T

I guess it's knowing what your ability is and how much are you capable of. When God grants you something it is a blessing and you have to grab it, but when God is showing you another way and it's not the way that you wanted, then that's the time i give up on that and follow what God's purpose for me is.

you asked "Do you easily give up on your dreams?" its dreams because of that we all are living. on the basis of dreams we all make plans and hope.Never let break your dreams. Yes one thing is true that if something is not meant for us,clearly you will not get success in them,even after trying it again and again . It happened to me also.But then surely its not your dream. Best way to know what you meant to do and where and in which field you will get success, hear your inner voice, hear what your heart says,recognise what you love to do. surely you will get success in those field.

Hmm. It's all a matter of practicality, for me. I mean, how do you say that something's not meant for you in the first place? If you want something, and luckily you have the opportunity, why not grave it? If you don't have this chance, then how would you know if it's not meant for you, when you don't even work hard for it?

Me, I never give up on my dreams... Never. I failed and thats just the part of the game... We never know how to master the game if we never failed by making mistakes. Its painful, I cried, I trembled, I got headache, I called myself crazy, stupid or something lunatic. Its just that Whatever I believe I can conceive, I know Im going to have it in my hands. Because I alraedy believe that WHAT MIND CAN CONCEIVE, YOU SHALL RECEIVE. I already undergo many process where I just felt on the same plane like what you say "I can sense when a certain object is not for me at all". For me, I declare it and getting crazy with it (even people surrounding me think Im crazy so I better not to tell them, I keep them to myself until the time I got it in my hands, and I can easily shout at the world.) Its just that in this present time, i tell you that Im in still in the process to make my reality is real... I can tell more about it. Many people including me, normally if we want to achieve something which is better, there's always obstacles to check us if we are ready for that higher thing? I think we should more talk to God and meditate daily and ask the clarity of whats actually in our mind. I think everybody has faith, this is only about faith. I believe If someone has a dream and that dream can bring goodness of God to the humanity, I think Its not what you dream... It comes from your deeper heart, that comes from God. Because God is always in our heart. If something is not as what we are expecting, maybe there's a reason your route must pass by the unwanted stones... But believe God and believe your dream is being planted by God... and thru you, He is making everything possible... Just dont give up. You know few days ago I had by breakdown, I got breakthrough lately and I tell to God, I just leave everything to you, you're the owner of my life. If this dream comes from you, I know you will make everything true, sooner or later.

It's nice to realize that we can't get what we're going after. It's essential, actually, because then we can figure out what our next move will be. A lot of things are limited in this world so it's inevitable for things to go scarce. Dreams can run dry, indeed.

If I try to reach and fail several times and then realize that thing is not for me,I won't push it any harder because I don't want to waste time and energy on something I probably won't achieve,so I try to set other goals on my mind and start a new road,hopefully with more success.

I heard a saying - "Spread your wings, then you will fly". Almost everyone has their dreams, aims to fulfill. One should definitely try to achieve something they dream about if possible. I could say one of my dreams is and still remains going to the country I spent some time and would like to return. I still think about my other dream. I need some support to make it true. Perhaps I am to blame myself if I cannot get the things work, if I cannot negotiate with other people and get the necessary information. I believe that those who strive hard can be successful.

For me, giving up is not a choice.. you must give your best shot to be able to achieve your goal.. take your disappointments as a challenge.. your patience will be tested in here so be patient.. whether the outcome is positive or negative, atleast you tried.. i know, you will be rewarded for your hardwork and dedication to achieve your goal. Just be patient and work hard. Dont let your disappointments stop you from achieving your goal.
