Have you ever just felt like giving up????

Don't we all feel like that now and again? We wake up in the morning and inwardly groan and we realise that once more we have to go though the motions. I feel like giving up on a regular basis - But we have to plod on, because it can be a lot worse - most of the World is worse off than I am. In reality I am relatively well off compared to the rest of the World, I need to give myself a mental slap and tell myself to get on with it..... Remember to keep smiling

Bizness, you have no idea how badly I wanted to give up. This year alone was a kick in the teeth. I've been out of work for a while and when I finally found a good job, I ended up getting sacked three weeks into my training. My boss said that I wasn't moving fast enough and I was dragging the company down. I felt sooooooooooo devastated and discouraged that I cried for a week. I drank myself into a stupor and I didn't talk to anyone for a while. I had no choice but to regroup because I want to be successful. I'm tired of getting fired. I'm tired of failing and not being able to pursue my dream of owning my own business. If I can't find work, I'm going to make work come to me. That's why I'm in my own business. The money's coming in slow, but it's better than nothing. I'm grateful for what has become of me because I do believe in myself. I will succeed and so will you. Don't give up.

Yes, I have thought of giving up a lot of times. I even left home for 5 months thinking of the right thing to do with certain issues. But realized that my kids are more important than anything else. And so I stayed and kept struggling to keep my sanity.

That's the reason why many people nowadays fail to achieve their goals-they don't just feel like giving up but they actually do it. It takes courage and persistence to follow your dreams and work hard on making them come true. Positive thinking and high self-assessment make me keep going instead of giving up. But I understand what you mean-we all need a break sometimes, otherwise we could strain ourselves too much and this will lead to exhaustion.

It happens to me all the time. It's like no matter how hard I try, I always end up as a failure. Nothing ever goes right. And that feeling's is quite heavy. I feel like I'm a loser. No matter what I do, I could never get better.

yes i felt it many times..life is like a mission to me....everytime i try to step ahead..there is always something which pulls me back..but i am a fighter and i know that..so i am fighting thats all.. thanks..

I have started some project and then wanted to give up . I think its normal , we start something then it seems we only end up further away from where we beginning . When you feel that way look at how much you already invested and see if its ok to give up .

Yes, it happen to me too, sometimes it just feel like giving up and forget all about it. But then after i took a break, everything is back to normal again. It is time for you to take the long needed break and take some rest, then come back again to finish off whatever left behind. That is the way to go and will make you breathe a lot easier. Go ahead, take a break, it will do good for you.

Hi, In a situation where taking two steps forward and ending up five steps back, the best maneuver is a hundred-eighty degree turn and you shall find yourself arriving at your destination. It may sound weird, out of a bad joke but it has some sense really. Take a break, turn away from it all while trying to solve the problems in a new perspective, like taking pen and paper to a lonely spot and just sit down to meditate and jot down notes as seen from this new vantage point. That's right, you need to take a break from it all. Oftentimes, the solution to a very complex problem is the simplest one that afterwards, you would wonder why you haven't tried it in the first place. To illustrate, when one of the right-upper steel frame of my fifteen year-old, USD200 eyeglass broke near the two retaining screws, I feel it was the end for my eyesight, if I can't find a replacement ASAP, my work shall be in jeopardy. With its high replacement cost, not to mention the difficulty in finding a suitable match, I began to panic how and where can I find one. The long weekend was a blessing in disguise. I stayed home all that time, just going around the house enduring the pain of my glass-deprived eyes but always thinking about the solution. Several attempts at self-repair resulted in the two-steps-forward-five-steps-back phenomenon almost ruining the costly lenses in the process. The solution came not from a high-tech laser welding process to join back the frame but from an ordinary, one-inch long thread used to repair a fishing net I got from one of my fisherfolk friends down at the beach. Bending the broken frame a little bit outwards, it is but a simple thing to tie it down to the lower part near the retainers, inserting the lens and the problem is solved. The brown thread blends well with the black frame that only a very close inspection could reveal the repair work I have done therein. Simple solutions to complex problems, they are really possible. You should try it sometime.

When it seems that all around you are too much to take on, you are absolutely right, vent it out nonviolently and breath deeply. Sometimes, it is when we take one step back that we are able to see a different perspective.

When I was going through a bad marriage I used to think i wanted to give up on life all the time. Then, id see my son smiling at me. And Id change. i made it through those bad days. Im a much stronger person than I was years ago.

Yeah, a couple times but I didn't and don't know why not to this day, But i'm happy I didn't because life has turned out to be wonderful. every minute even the worst ones are a gift. Happy mylotting!
