Why You Should Never Give Up

I could tell you that you should never give up because one day you will be successful but I do not know the future so I cannot tell you that. Instead I will write an article and try to convince you why you must never give up.

The temptation to give up comes to all of us in life for one reason or the other and most of the times it seems justified however anything in the world can be justified. There is nothing in the world which cannot be justified. Murder, stealing, prostitution, divorce, hate, poverty and on the other side love, power, peace, patience can also be justified. The first reason why you must never give up is that anything and everything can be justified. Giving up can be justified and not giving up can also be justified, it just depends on what you choose to justify. If you have lost all your money in an investment you are justified to give up on investing but at the same time you have the right not to give up because you lost all your money. In other words you can choose not to give up simply because you lost all your money. Losing your money can become the reason why you will not give up. It is like someone whose son dies in a war the person can decide to give up or can decide to carry on with more energy, simply because their son died in the war. In summary you must not give up because you are justified not to give up.

Secondly, the reason why you must not give up is simply because you do not know the future. Today you might be getting whipped and spat on but tomorrow you might be sitting next to the king. Today you might be in prison and have spent twenty seven years in prison but tomorrow you might be the president of South Africa. Today you might lose an election but tomorrow in the next election you might win the presidential election. Today you might lose all your investments for your motor car industry but tomorrow you might be the biggest motor industry owner in history. Today you might be the junior partner in your firm but tomorrow you might become the owner of the firm. So simply put in this argument, you cannot choose to give up because you do not know the future. Don’t worry about tomorrow because you do not know what will happen.

Thirdly, the reason why you must not give up is because there is no point of having used all that energy and then you get nothing. Think of it this way, if you have spent all that time in your life trying to invent a light bulb and failed, is it not a waste of time to have invested so much and not getting anything. Would you rather not die still investing and expecting a harvest than live with the knowledge that you failed in something you have a conviction that it will work. How many people died in wars of independence without seeing the fruit but because they had conviction independence was found. How many people died on journeys to discover other lands that most of us now live on. Imagine if they had turned their ships around and just gave up, where would the United States of America be today?

Now the fourth reason why you must not give up may sound strange but it is a reason none the less. You must not give up simply because life does not make sense. You see, everything in life repeats itself and goes round and round. Wars are lost and won, generations are born and they die, cars are bought and sold, it rains on the good and the evil, the corrupt get richer and the innocent are poorer, many drive whilst drunk and kill the sober, tsunamis kill anyone in their way; so, in essence life does not make sense. It then goes within this reasoning that you must not give up because giving up makes sense. Einstein discovered theories because he thought of what did not make sense to others, we discovered that the world was round because someone thought of it when everyone else thought it made no sense, we watch television because someone did not think in a logical way at the time, other senseless ideas that become a success include radio, sliced bread, spaceships, computers, internet, and of course my favorite hamburgers.

Now I only told you of four reasons but if you know me personally I can give you seven other reasons, but that would be spoiling you, however how many of you would dare not give up in asking me for the other seven reasons. You must never give up on your true convictions.

Powerful Success Concepts of the Night

It is easy to dismiss the night time as just sleep time with no meaningful significance except to rest yet it forms the basis of success. It is not the daytime which determines the level of your success, it is the night time.

The night time comes with powerful concepts of success which when we miss them we never succeed in life, it is that simple. What we need to realize is that the night time makes half of the twenty four hour day and hence is very significant so we are not supposed to deal with the night time in the same way we deal with the day time. If we mistake the two we end up thinking night time is just a period of rest and there is nothing we can achieve at night because there is no day light. When we fail to realize the power of the night we will never succeed in the day time accordingly. The night time has its purpose in success which when we understand the concepts behind it we would most assuredly look forward to it.

The night time like everyone knows is the time when the sun is not visible and the stars all come out so it seems. It is the time that you can see the stars most vividly as my friend Hercules put it across so well. What we do not realize is that during the day we are all working hard and most of the time we are not really within our own element. In other words we spend most of the time at work or outside doing something such that we never really have time to see who we really are. The day goes so fast and at the end of the day we are exhausted and we go to sleep, wake up the next day and do the same routine again. Night time is when the true stars shine, it is the time that you really can see who you are, what you own and where you are going, what kind of house do you call home, what kind of bed do you sleep on, what kind of meal do you eat when no one is watching, what clothes do you wear, and what entertainment can you provide for yourself. At night when no one is looking do you really see yourself for who you are or do you just hide in the darkness. During the day we spend it looking professional to impress everyone around us but when we are at home what are we like and what do we have which is ours.

The night time is when dreams are made; it is the time of planning, preparation and creativity. Most of us think we need to prepare during the day yet we miss the concept. Night time is the time when visions and dreams are implanted into our minds. It is the time when faith is born and cemented, by definition faith is the conviction in something which has not yet been seen and it is at night time that we create the convictions simply because it is dark outside and we cannot see anything. Night time is the time in which though the outside is dark our minds should be full of light creating plans and getting ready for the day to simply implement. This is why you see great teachers would meditate at night or early morning, during the day all that they would do is to implement. People like Jesus would not be seen praying during the day because they would have already prayed in the night and early morning, all they would do in the daytime is to implement. Instead of creating at night, we normally just shut down and say we are resting so we never create anything in our minds. If you have read all the books to success you would realize by now that our minds are key to our success, hence what we construct in our minds is what determines our efforts and determination to succeed. If we never take the time to dream and envision our lives at night we will never be set. The greatest planting is done at night in which human seeds are planted and babies are the result all because of the night. The same goes for inspiration and genius; the night time is the best atmosphere when all elements are perfect for creation.

The third and most powerful concept that we miss is that in order for tomorrow to come night time must occur. If night time never came there would be no tomorrow, it would become just one continuous day. If you have an objective in life and things seem to be going wrong, this is your night time. If you are in business and you are going through losses, this is your night time, if you are out of relationships and are alone; again this is your night time. Night time is not the time to cry but it is the time to prepare for tomorrow, it is the period for creating and envisioning what your day when it breaks will be like. It is like someone planning to build the greatest company, they must already have every single detail of the company planned out so that as soon as they receive their capital, which is their day time, they just implement. If we wait and cry about the night or the problems that we are going through we will forget to plan for the day time.

My favorite concept of the night is that when you wake up, it is a new day, meaning that there is every possibility that you can do anything new. Each new day is an occasion to create something new. If you choose to dwell on yesterday you will lose out on the possibilities of the new day. Whenever you have night time you should be grateful that you are in the process of going to tomorrow where you have an opportunity to implement new things. If things did not work out the previous day then that was the time of yesterday and you have another opportunity to do other things. Night time is the transition period from one reality that was to another which is in the power of your dreams to create. The reason why people are always doing the same routine every day time they have is simply because they fail to realize that the night time gives them the opportunity to change their routine and envision something greater to do. Night time is like your break time, in which you can change or fortify your strategy to win the game or to recover the game.

Today when you go to sleep, remember that it is not just about rest but it is about success. If you are going to just sleep you will fail. If you are just going to rest you will be stuck in the same routine tomorrow, think beyond the darkness and see how much of the light in you will shine.
