Don’t Give Up. YOU Are Almost There.
All people have moments when they have to question themselves. Things in life won’t always go your way, and there will be a lot of times when it may seem hopeless. Everything you encounter seems to be against you, and it can become an unbearable weight, and in that moment of darkness and frustration, you may feel like giving up. Those are the moments it is vital you find the strength and inspiration to hang on because there is always a pendulum of change coming your way. Darkness serves a purpose just as light does. Good things will come into your life if you can maintain hope and heart long enough. Change is constant and inevitable and will allow for tough times to end and prosperity to enter your life.
Down Times Necessary
In all things in life, contrast exists to provide meaning to each experience. There needs to be an opposite experience for every positive emotion and experience to give different and lend sense to the value of what you are experiencing.
There is no appreciating a warm summer day if you haven’t experienced the bitter cold of winter. Joy gets its value from the comparison of desperation. Happy and sad, loneliness and a relationship, each enjoyable experience needs to have a polar opposite. That needs to be experienced to understand what the great things in life mean and the value they give you. If you give up when sharing the despair of difficult times, you will never know the joy of redemption or the satisfaction coming back will provide you.
Contrast Provides Meaning
All people go through times of sorrow in life. The difference is that some people let those times define 
them, and others move past them into a more profound understanding that often, low moments of sorrow provide a springboard for a deeper understanding or a more decisive action that brings you closer to your ultimate happiness and understanding of life. The downtimes will get you ready for the happy times to come and for you to appreciate them.
Look at the BIG Picture
Even though we don’t look for situations that make us feel broken, they are sometimes needed to grow into better people. Life is a long game that needs to be viewed from looking down at the whole thing. Like a caterpillar turns into a butterfly, your transformation is possible.
You may be struggling now, but if you look ahead and see the best possible results, it will make you more successful. That is what is waiting, nobody in the world was born to be sad all the time, and there will be great moments ahead of you regardless of what your life is giving you right now.
Put your head down and keep moving forward because today’s clouds will eventually give way to the bright skies of tomorrow. All you have to do is stay in the game long enough to experience it. Moving ahead is the only place where you will find your dreams. Everything you want is in front of you, and you must move ahead to greet it.
Failure is Not Fatal
In school, we are taught that failure is a fatal mistake; it is the thing we must avoid at all costs. Better to play it safe than to take a chance at something we might fail at. Learning is about setting a task, making a plan, trying it out, and evaluating what happens. If it doesn’t work, that isn’t a failure. It is learning. Take that lesson and try again, and soon you will be experiencing nothing but success.
People often face life with a fixed mindset, avoiding even the idea that they don’t know something and pretending to know when a simple question would have ended all doubt. Be a growth mindset person. Accept challenges, be willing to learn, and ask questions, and soon you will see the opportunity that “so-called” failure provides. Failure is not fatal, and it is necessary to become all that you can be and gain value in life lessons.
“It always seems impossible until it’s done.” ―Nelson Mandela
“How long should you try? Until.” ―Jim Rohn
“There is no failure except in no longer trying.” ―Elbert Hubbard
“Never give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.” ―Harriet Beecher Stowe
