Don’t give up but get up and get going!
It takes grit not to quit. Change requires determination which is easy to find but hard to keep. Anyone can decide to do something but then who actually does it? You can get all kinds of ideas and inspiration but the challenge is implementation. Sometimes its time to stop dreaming and start doing, and once you start then you must be committed to finish. The excitement of the new will wear off after a day or two and then it will just be more work. It’s like the Eiffel Tower; think of what came between the conception and the manifestation. It was a diligent effort and a lot of work but now it stands as a monument for all to see. It didn’t happen overnight and so I’m thinking the reason that many people never fulfill their dreams is because they’re not really willing to work for them no matter how long it takes. There has to be a schedule and consistency or it will never get done. The Tower was a monumental task and imagine how long it would have take if everybody just showed up and worked on it when the got around to it. It took 300 workers about ten month to build it using 2,500,000 rivets. This is like your dream, it comes to you in pieces and if you really want to achieve it you will have to work and work and continue to work especially after it’s lost its luster. The road to fulfillment can get boring at times and when it does don’t stop there because if you do you’ll be stuck somewhere you don’t what to be. Just keep on going because its better to be moving then sitting right in the middle of a half fulfilled vision. “Yea, but it took way longer and is a lot harder then I thought it would be!” Even if it takes a whole lifetime that’s not very long as far as God is concerned. So don’t give up but get up and get going! Otherwise you’re surely stuck right where you are and if you don’t like it then do something about it. I know it’s hard but it’s still better then living an unfulfilled life. So what are you gonna do and are you gonna keep on doing it no matter how long it takes. This is what people do that see their dreams in reality, they stop sleeping and work on it everyday. When you get discouraged all you want to do is sleep and forget but don’t do it! Resist and remember, don’t give up but get up and get going!
