Someone asked me this question on quora, How Does One Decide When To Give Up Versus Keep Going On A Passionate Side Project They Want To Turn Into A Business. I thought of this as very important that can help a lot people especially those of the same or similar question, so I decided to write it on my blog.
Giving up or keep going is a personal decision you decide for yourself because is your life and you're the one that knows how it feels to be in that situation. There is no fixed time for someone to give up on their dreams till they achieve it.
Everyone has an idea of how you should live, advising you on what's right and wrong for you, but the truth of the matter about advice is that, you listen to all and decide for yourself whether to take them or leave them. We are all individuals and our advice is mostly based on our life experiences and what we have observed or witnessed in life.
Yes, of course my experiences has been a life coach and will still be. We learn from our mistakes, people's mistakes and our life experiences, that's one of the reasons why I have a personal blog, share my thoughts and life experiences with other people. My advice on this is basically on what have helped me.
Try to read people's success story to motivate yourself anytime you have the urge to give up, besides some people failed many times but never gave up on their dreams till they achieved it. Many of life's failure are people who did not realise how close they were to success when they gave up _Thomas Edison.
I personally, have my own success story on how I started my writing career which I wrote on my blog. We will always struggle to achieve our dreams because it's not easy to achieve success or something worth while. People often say that motivation doesn't last. well, neither does bathing_ that's why we recommend it daily _Zig Ziglar. Always encourage and motivate yourself no matter the circumstances surrounding you because all those struggles and frustration are stories you will tell later to the world as your success story, so my dear never give up on yourself.
I can't give up on myself or my writing career because I tried and failed and realized why it was important. Self encouragement and motivation to work hard to achieve success not withstanding the circumstances surrounding you, trigger your success.
It has worked and have been working for me and I hope it will work for you.
Seriously, can't give up on myself not with those smiles of hope and faith to make it.
Still working on myself, a divine project in progress.
