Don't Give Up !!!

Most people give up just when they're about to achieve success. They quit on the one yard line. They give up at the last minute of the game one foot from a winning touchdown. Ross Perot

Have you ever heard that? That story sounds familiar for you huh?

Why to give up? If you are just a few steps, days, months of achieving success !!

I'll tell why:

Because you have no idea where success is or can be.

You know why?

Because you didn't plan ahead of time; before you started your venture or idea.

I remember the day I saw my cousin to quit what he was doing just because he didn't achieve his goal on his terms.

He/She wanted to achieve such a goal in his/her own way, at his/her own time and when he/she wanted. Truth is, that when you plan ahead of time, you still can modify those aspects that might make you change your plans slightly until you aim in the real deadline according to your effort.

When doing creative work, yes, time is an enemy. But why does it have to be the same in repetitive tasks that you perform while are your regular work?

It is important to plan ahead of time. It saves you anger, frustration and failure.

Human emotions are just an unavoidable thing.

Do you want an advice?

Analyze yourself before you plan or start your creative work.

Put in consideration, your health, your time, your family events and as much as you can of your everyday life.

Then, separate your goal in small goals that can be achieved systematically and realistically.

Divide in segments and start one by one until you achieve each one of them and keep following until the next one is done and so one.

You'll realize how simple was achieve your main goal

Attitude is as important as your goal itself.

Are you going to keep the same enthusiasm down the road until you get where you want to get?

The key here is to keep your attitude and your mood as when you started.

How can you do that?

Well, develop that good habit to achieve and get results and then reward yourself with small awards.

Then come back to work until it's done. Just keep going, everything will be alright.
