Thought For The Day

"If you don't quit, you will make it."

Have circumstances of your life boxed you to the ground?
Do you feel too weak to stand up again and fight for your dream and life?
Do you feel too frustrated and down hearted because you think you have failed? 

No. Get up!
Dust yourself off!
Just try again one more time.
You have got immerse strength and power within you .Why not tap into it? Let not the fear and weakness of the moment blind you. You can win if you keep at it.

Just spare a moment and listen to yourself. What is your inner voice telling you? How many voices are you hearing and what are they telling you? One may be telling you that you can do it but the other one disagrees.

Normally, there are two forms of communication. One with yourself and the other with other people but the most important communication is with yourself. What you think and how you perceive the world all round you. Your interpretation of the messages you get matters the most, they can break or make you.

This applies to everything in your life; success in your relationships, in business ventures and attainment of any goal. It is therefore important to watch what you tell yourself. ‘Watch your language when talking to yourself as everything is being monitored and recorded minute by minute by your self image.'  This dialogue can uplift your spirits or crash your self esteem.

Your interpretation of the event or message is vital .What you think and see will always rule your world.

This self talk when positive is also referred to as pep talk. Pep talk is a morale booster. Many people are known to have a mantra that they run through their minds in times of challenges e.g.

      ''Success is failure turned inside out,
        Stick to the fight when you are hardest hit.
      
       It is when things seem worst,
         that you mustn't quit."

                           Or 

       'If it is going to be, then it is up to me.'

 And so on depending on the individual, and situation.

 Pep talk like any other tool of communication is quite effective and can alter your course of action. All depends on the nature of the challenge and you .You can pray, read, watch a movie or talk to a friend etc. Whatever the situation, you must always take an action.

Taking action is not always easy when you are down and out .The situation may appear grim but it is not final. You can change it.

One way to bring about change is to dig deep and find out the factors that could have made you produce such undesirable results. Then systematically
strive to change them by taking appropriate remedial actions. This means accepting your weaknesses and working towards improvements while building on your strengths. 

 It may require persistence and perseverance to get to the root of it. Re-examine how you could have got yourself down there. What was going through your mind then? You may have doubted yourself and your ability to accomplish the task ahead of you and so ended up proving your thoughts right. Self doubt is poison. It is a killer of great dreams and hopes.

Always remember that failure is just a temporary set back and a teacher.  It is a reminder to readjust your sails. Believe you can do it..Have faith in yourself.' Never say die.'

You could also go ahead and seek for help from your mentors, friends and all those experienced in what you desire. .It can be difficult to accept mistakes as this requires courage and humility. Besides, it is vital that you know your strengths and weaknesses. You should also learn to acknowledge, tap and appreciate others' better knowledge and skills .Look for the best in everyone who crosses your path to enrich your life. Accept to be taught. Learn to discern and pick the best out your world.

Ensure that you acquire at least basic skills in your chosen field and learn the ropes. Be patient. Persevere. Strive to find and do what you love and believe in. Do all possible to follow your dream (s)? If your dream is big enough then no amount of failure and frustrations will keep you down on the ground. No mountain will be too high to scale. No battle will too fierce to fight and no price will be too high to pay. Nothing will stop you because you can "Never Say Die!'

Deep down in your throbbing heart you will always hear an appealing whisper, :

    'Success is achieved by those who try. There is nothing to lose
     by trying and a great deal to gain if successful .By all means try.'

Try again just one more time...
You should never ever give up.

Stand up and try again!

Will you?
You can still win.
