Never giving up on a dream is a good mentality a person should have. But, if we would look unto reality, this is not happening all the time. Giving up is part of life.
Giving up in some aspects of life doesn’t mean that a person is not optimistic anymore. Giving up doesn’t mean that you have to end your life; it is just allowing you to stop and rethink about your methods in getting your goals. Usually, we get second thoughts when we already struggle with the path that we take. We often ask ourselves, “Can I do this?” or “Should I continue doing this?” Just be realistic at all points, remember that there are always another way to let your passion enrich your life.
So when is the right time to give up? We give up each moment. We surrender each day. Think about the truth and your reason of existence. Remember that one strategy to win a battle is by learning how to surrender. The truth is that you just have to know what matters to you and never let it go. Sometimes we need to lose in order for us to learn more things. Sometimes we have to lose something good to get something better because sometimes the answers are just in front of you waiting to be realized.
PERSONAL STRUGGLE
Personally, I normally don’t give up. When I was still in high school, I have always believed that I can reach all my dreams in life. I was a very idealistic person. When I graduated university, everything changed. I have realized that sometimes, I need to give up things I like, not because I am feeling negative but because I know that there are better things to come.
Photography and filmmaking are two of the things I want in life. Despite the fact that I do not own any kind of gadgets that will help me do all these things, I am just glad that I still have not come to the point of giving up my dreams in life. I believe I am still in the process. I save for a budget. I practice. I aim to study again. But sooner or later I know that I have to think about it. I hate to say but maybe I have to face the fact that I cannot do all of it and that I have to look for another way to at least reach them so I would become more productive.
We should just remember that staying positive should always be a partner of every “giving-up moments” in life.
