Why give up on your dreams? No one successful has ever made it to the top without hearing a hundred no’s along the way.

Why listen to those who say you can’t, when only YOU have the power to set the bar?

Nothing in life comes easy, yet people seem to want all the reward without putting forth any of the effort. The idea that things will fall into your lap, is just that- an idea. The idea of waiting for the right time is just a fantasy. There is never really going to be a right time for anything. The time will be right when you finally decide to make your move. You have to go out and get the things you want or you’ll be waiting forever for it to happen.

Nothing great comes to fruition without dedication and effort. People spend more time and effort planning a wedding than they do in their actual marriage. So many people are in love with the idea of marriage without realizing what it actually entails. Relationships are a full time job, regardless of how far along you are with that person. Once you pass the honeymoon stage, reality sets in and it’s no longer about how much you like or love the person, but the amount of work you are willing to put in. It’s so simple to give up, to walk away. You move on to the next person and the cycle continues. Fictitious books and movies have led people to look for a fairytale. A happy ending. No relationship will ever be perfect and neither will any individual. If you give up at the first sign of trouble that person is not meant for you. Because if you want something bad enough you’ll do anything to keep it, and if you love someone deep enough you’ll do anything not to lose them. Anything worth fighting over, is worth fighting for.

Destiny cannot be foreseen, but you do have the ability to control the now. So why give up?
