Even real leaders and the richest people in the world have a moment when they give up. Unfortunately, everything does not always go the way we want, and sometimes the dark streak drags on and leads to despair. How to be in this case? Here are the options.
Take care of yourself
And with its development. If everything in life is not going well, you still have you and the opportunity to make yourself better. Work on your fitness and figure, develop a talent, or learn something new. Or something you’ve wanted to learn for a long time. Take care of your body and simply switch from external circumstances to yourself and your condition. No, no one says that fate favors the best or that you need to become someone for everything to work out. Simply, firstly, you will take your mind off heavy thoughts, self-pity and your despair. And secondly, the dark streak also does not last forever, so you will enter the bright one more experienced, beautiful and with new knowledge.
Let's change the situation
More precisely, we are leaving to rest. Firstly, everything is not going well, perhaps because you are very tired and rest can save your life, and secondly, after a reboot you will be able to look at everything from a different angle and with a fresh look. If going on vacation to overseas destinations does not give you a huge amount of work or a meager amount of money, there are weekend tours and short-term trips. You can go to these regularly, so take advantage of this opportunity.
If you don’t even have the energy for a weekend tour, relax, lie down on the sofa, stock up on popcorn and switch off. Be an algae that floats with the flow and still exists. Surrender to fate. You shouldn’t reproach yourself for such a pause and for the lost time: after all, it’s better to lose it this way than in the hospital.
Do something else
What to do if you give up? Not what they did before. Perhaps what you are striving for is not for you? You definitely won't be able to do something you're not really predisposed to do. There are many ways to figure out where your calling and your mission are, that is, what you are supposed to do in life with higher powers. Try to remember what you wanted to do as a child, because children are closer to God (or those unknown forces that rule the world, if you want) and they better understand what they need. You can calmly think about what you would do if you had a few months left to live.
If you can’t figure out your calling, try to find a job that is completely different from what you have been doing all your life. Who knows, maybe you will soon return to your usual activities with renewed vigor, after which everything will begin to add up, rather than subtract. Or try turning your hobby into a job (or just a source of another income). The author is well acquainted with a journalist who has been involved in dancing and tourism for himself all his life, but today he is a successful teacher of hustle and salsa, and sometimes a tourism instructor, and has much more income from this than when he was a journalist. By the way, no one said that if you find your business and leave your comfort zone, your hands will no longer give up. But life will become easier and you will get more pleasure from your work.
Don't be afraid of negative emotions
This is generally normal, we’ve just been taught to have false positivity and a smile on an evil face. You shouldn’t overstep the problem and move towards an incomprehensible success through strength and through inability, getting more and more new bumps. If you fight negativity within yourself, you fall into an even deeper hole. What should you really do? Get angry, shout out, and if possible, cry and admit that you are tired and powerless. In order for new forces to appear, send to the dustbin of history all the negativity that has accumulated in you.
Find a good support group
If there is no way to change activities or rest, you need to move forward. To believe in yourself, you need to seek help and faith from those who sympathize with you. No, he doesn’t pat him on the head, but supports him. Surely you have like-minded people, and if not, find new friends or just people who will pull you out of the hole. Go to trainings and self-help groups, seek help on forums or social networks. All methods here are good.
Think and talk about good things and only about them
Yes, you can throw out negative emotions a couple of times, or even not a couple of times. But then you need to think only positively. Talk too. Never support negative and sad topics in conversations, do not say something bad about people behind their backs, and immediately stop the flow of sad and bad thoughts. It is unrealistic to attract good things with negative thoughts, so we rebuild. But the main thing is to remember that the night is darkest just before dawn.

There are times in our lives when it seems like the world has turned its back on us: work isn’t going well, opportunities slip through our fingers, one trouble is replaced by another, and the desire to give up everything, move away and never return is brewing.
I have compiled a list of 20 reasons that I hope will give you the motivation and inspiration to keep moving forward despite all the challenges. After all, it often happens that people stop fighting and give up, being just one step away from their cherished goal.
1. Remember: as long as you are alive, anything is possible.
There is only one good reason to stop fighting for your goals and dreams - death. As long as you are alive, healthy and free, you have every opportunity to continue. And do this until you achieve them.
2. Stay realistic
The chance of mastering something the first time is negligible. It takes time (sometimes a lot of time) to learn something, acquire the right skills and understand how to apply them correctly.
Allow yourself to make mistakes and learn from your mistakes.
3. Be persistent like Michael Jordan.
Michael is perhaps the best athlete in the history of basketball. He himself says that his path to the pinnacle of fame lay through constant failures. And his whole secret was that he never gave up and never gave up. He did not give up even when he realized that he had missed more than 300 shots, and many times he failed the last decisive shot that he was entrusted with making. Every time Michael fell, he found the strength to rise again.
4. Learn the will to live from Lance Armstrong
Doctors diagnosed cyclist Lance Armstrong, and the disease was gradually killing him. However, Lance found the strength and faith to defeat her. Moreover, after his recovery, he became the only athlete to finish first in the overall Tour de France six times in a row.
5. Remember the story of the person whose action inspired the idea of the marathon
In ancient times, when the Persians landed on the shores of Greece, an envoy was sent to Sparta to ask for help in fighting the Persians. All hope was placed on this envoy, because there were simply no other ways of communication and help.
Legend has it that this man covered a distance of 240 kilometers on his own feet in just two days. And a little later he ran another 40 kilometers to announce the victory of the Greeks over the Persians. True, after that he died on the spot.
When the challenges you face seem too difficult and you feel like giving up, remember this story and think about what it took for that first marathon runner to cover such a distance in such a short time. Don't try to repeat what he did, but use this story for inspiration.
6. Pull yourself out of rock bottom like Chris Gardner
Have you seen the movie “The Pursuit of Happyness”? It is based on true events in the life of Chris Gardner. This is a man who was able to pull himself out from the very bottom of a miserable life, when there was no work, no housing, no food. And yet, Chris found the strength not to give up where many other people would have given up, and to achieve his goal. He became .
If thoughts about quitting creep into your head, I recommend watching the movie “The Pursuit of Happyness” starring Will Smith.
7. Be resilient like Kanye West
Surely you have heard about this famous rap artist. Read his biography, I'm sure it will inspire you. This is the story of surviving with very little to survive and becoming one of the most famous and respected people in the world.
8. Stay true to your principles like Nelson Mandela
Nelson Mandela is one of the most famous human rights activists in South Africa. His life story is impressive in that he spent 27 years in prison for his political views, which he chose not to renounce even in exchange for freedom.
9. Know that you are strong
You are stronger than you think. One small obstacle cannot and should not stop you from achieving your goals, just like the next 10, 20 or even 100 obstacles.
10. Prove to yourself that you can
It is unlikely that you want to be remembered as a person who is weak and unable to realize himself. Go, prove to yourself and the whole world that you can, that you are worthy and will definitely achieve your goals, no matter what. The only way for you to lose is to give up yourself.
11. Have you done this before?
If someone has already done what you have in mind before you, then you can do it too. Even if there is only one person in the world who could do it, this is already strong evidence that you can do it too.
12. Believe in your dream
Don't sell yourself short! There will be many more people in life who will want to keep you where you are now. They will convince you that you have conceived the impossible and you need to face the truth. My advice to you: don't let anyone ruin yours.
13. Family and friends need you
Let the people you love and close to you become a source of inspiration and motivation to force yourself to move on. Try and don’t give up for them if you don’t find a reason to do it for yourself.
14. Don't give up because I ask you to.
15. There are people in worse situations
There are many people right now who are in a much more difficult situation than you. So, when you wake up thinking about canceling your morning run, remember how many people in the world cannot even walk and how much they are willing to give to be able to run every morning.
So take advantage of the amazing opportunity that you have to live life to the fullest.
16. "Get Rich or Die"
This phrase belongs to Curtis Jackson (50 Cent). 50 Cent is rich and self-made. And the fact that he was shot nine times did not stop him. Face your fears and don't take the easy route, which usually means giving up.
17. Let your enemies hate you
There will always be those who will. There will always be a lot of naysayers and people who will try to drag you down with them. Ignore them and don't take what they say to heart. Let the skeptics doubt, but continue to believe in yourself.
18. You deserve happiness
Never let anyone convince you otherwise. You deserve to be happy and successful. Stick to this position and never doubt it until you achieve your cherished goal.
19. Inspire others
Be an example for others as a person who never gives up under any circumstances. Who knows what someone else could achieve just by looking at you one day and also deciding to never give up.
20. You never know how close you are to success.
Many people gave up, not even suspecting that they were just one step away from success. No one knows for sure when success will come. Perhaps this will happen tomorrow, or maybe in a year or two. But if you stop, stop trying and give up, you will not achieve it in 10 years, or even by the end of your life.
The next time you want to give up everything, think, because it may very well be that success is waiting for you just around the next corner.
All that is required of you is not to give up!
Many people often compare life to a zebra, talking about black and white stripes in life. A black streak is a series of troubles, problems, illnesses, emptiness and depression. Almost every person has experienced a difficult period in their life when nothing works out, they don’t want to do anything and they give up.
And in a state of disappointment and apathy, we forget about those things that previously gave us strength and hope, made us happy and joyful every day, and helped us believe that everything will work out. The person begins to sink even deeper into this state, instead of getting up, dusting himself off and moving on.
So, knowing these things will help you always be prepared and make your life much easier.
1. Beliefs
The beliefs that society has imposed on you since childhood are misleading you. Remember how you were taught “what is good and what is bad”, what you should do and what you should not do? Does this word “need” already evoke a feeling of anger and helplessness? This is your life and you must live it as you want and no one has the right to make a choice for you. Set goals for yourself and go towards them, be kinder and help people in need, don’t forget about your family and friends, don’t get hung up on situations, move on.
2. Your path
This stage of life is another step towards a bright and happy future. Yes, now you may have reached a dead end or turned in the wrong direction, but there is no need to despair, you need to look for a way out. And the faster you find this way out and pull yourself together, the faster you will reach your intended goal.
3. Everything is for the better
Sometimes it happens that something didn’t work out for you or you didn’t get the result you were striving for. But remember the saying “Whatever happens is for the best”? Look at it from the other side, maybe this is a happy accident, thanks to which you avoided even greater difficulties and troubles.
4. Everything will change
Take a moment to look into your past. Surely, you have already had moments when you didn’t want to do anything. But those times have passed and you move on with your life. But how much more time will you waste if you continue to sink into a state of depression?
5. Ultimate goal
Determine what your bright and happy future is, what it should be, what will make you happier and bring you pleasure. You must clearly understand what you want and where to move next.
6. Responsibility
Your life belongs only to you, and only you have the right to manage it as you want. To truly become a happy person, get rid of the habit of complaining about life and looking for excuses. Take responsibility for your life and the decisions you make.
7. Perspective
Much in your life depends on how you perceive things, people around you and situations. Try to approach situations more simply and not take everything to heart. Be optimistic and remember, if you can't change a situation, just change your attitude towards it.
8. Negativity
There is a lot of negativity in life, most often it comes from people around us who are dissatisfied with their lives. Remember this and don't take things personally.
9. Anger and resentment
Probably every person in his life has at least once encountered a misunderstanding, and maybe even the betrayal of another person. Do you have a lot of grievances inside of you and do situations from the past make you angry and angry? For yourself, forgive and release your offenders, wish them good luck, free yourself from this negativity.
10. I am strong
You are most likely confident that you can achieve a lot and become a successful person. But now you are just going through a difficult period in your life. How is your strength measured? Strength of spirit is what is important to you now. Remember all your victories and successes, because it worked out then. Who said that you won't succeed now? You just need to try and believe.
11. Life is a struggle
Fight, but only with yourself. Be honest with yourself and decide for yourself what is really important to you in this life and what you want.
12. Risk
Every step, action, attempt is a risk. You may win, or you may be left with nothing. But remember that you also need to take risks wisely and you always have to take risks, otherwise you will remain where you are now.
13. Failures
Thanks to failures and mistakes, today you have become wiser, smarter and more resilient. You don’t need to be afraid to stumble, you need to be afraid to live a life that doesn’t satisfy you.
14. Conclusions
From each situation you need to draw a conclusion and learn a lesson for the future. If you do not analyze the situation and understand why this happened, then next time you may repeat your mistakes. But you also shouldn’t get hung up on the situation, draw a conclusion and move on.
15. Comparisons
Do you think you have more problems than others? This way you put yourself above others. In addition, you develop a habit of self-pity, which will not bring anything positive into your life. Understand that everyone has their own path and their own destiny, and everyone is destined to go through certain tests in order to truly find happiness and inner harmony.
Look at yourself and life from a different angle, because everything is not as bad as it seems. Believe me, if you pull yourself together and start taking action, it will become much better, and you will definitely notice it soon.
It seems that there is no more difficult test for an entrepreneur than when a business into which an incredible amount of effort has been invested fails. However, if we look at the success stories of some famous businessmen, we will find that the vast majority of these people encountered failures, started from scratch, and even had problems with the law. Why, businessmen and brilliant scientists did not immediately make discoveries that changed the world. If Thomas Edison had given up after ten thousand(!) failed attempts, he would not have created the light bulb, and we would live in a completely different world today. Never give up is the motto of any entrepreneur. And in our article we will give you some tips on how to survive failure in business, not give up, but continue to move towards your goal.Don't make a tragedy out of failure
Pay attention to who you have chosen as members of your team, who you could take again, and who it is better to stay away from. As the French proverb says, retinue makes the king. From now on, treat your shots more carefully.
Don't be afraid to seek help from specialists
It just so happens that a person cannot know everything and be an expert in all areas at once. That is why, if you have doubts about this or that issue, or have problems with documents, or have legal questions, then it is best not to guess, but to turn to someone in this area for answers. Also, if possible, you can insure your business. Think of your past business failure as a new door that has opened, because while you were doing that unpromising business, there were many opportunities nearby that you simply did not pay attention to. It's time to forget about previous failures, find the strength to start over and achieve success this time.
