It often happens that some of us wish for things that sounds too impossible, too wild or too unrealistic. The feeling of having dreams that seems to be uncatchable makes few dreamers discontinue believing. They start limiting themselves and set boundaries to what they aspire. Your dream is a wish from your heart yearning to attain it even if it sounds too crazy! If you're not dreaming you're not living my friend, you're dead. The biggest gift we have is the ability to wish and pursue.
"When you feel like giving up, remember why you held on for so long in the first place."

Time and again dilemmas, disputes and pressure make people unable to think and long for what they want. Some assume that it's better to give up. The opposite is true. Losing faith or quitting doesn't change circumstances. The more you hone, in the more you'll find opportunities, and success is worth persisting.
Some get taken back when they fail or get rejected. If you never failed then you've never lived. Successful people keep persevering when most people quit. They exert and work hard when others have fun, and they face grueling challenges when others feel safe. They aim in the face of set backs, while others limit their beliefs and assume that it's not destined to be.
When the world says, "Give up," Hope whispers. "Try it one more time."

Moments of hardships can make you stop believing that your dream can happen. When it seems that all doors are shut, try another one. Always give it one last try. And the more you fail the more experienced you will be. Failing is an opportunity to learn something new. Anything that stops your way is not happening in order for you to quit.
The road to success is like a road to drive with bumps. When you see a bump do you stop the car? You continue going and I don't think anyone would stop his way because of a bump in a road. Normally, you would continue to drive till your destination is reached. The successful never let anything stop them from going after what they covet.
They have gone through a road full of challenges, rejection, setbacks and didn't surrender. When it seems that they should stop having faith, they never did. They persevered until they reached the peak of a mountain, exactly like you when you follow in their footsteps.

Wilma Rudolph was born prematurely and her survival was doubtful. When she was 4 years old, she contacted double pneumonia and scarlet fever, which left her with a paralyzed left leg. At age 9, she removed the metal leg brace she had been dependent on and began to walk without it. By 13 she had developed rhythmic walk, which doctors believed was a miracle.
That same year she decided to become a runner. She entered a race and came in last. For the next few years every race she entered, she came in last. Everyone told her to quit, but she kept on running. One day she actually won a race. And then another. From then on she won every race she entered. Eventually this little girl, who was told she would never walk again, went on to win three Olympic gold medals.
Author Jack Canfield mentioned in his book Success Principals that the longer you hang in there, the greater the chance that something will happen in your favor. No matter how hard it seems, the longer you persist the more likely your success is. If you hang in there long enough you will eventually reach your goals.
John Assaraf was a street kid who had been engaged with drugs and gangs. He was landed a job in a gym at the Jewish community. He got his early education in business in the men's sauna. Every night after work he'd be in the steamy hot room listening to successful people telling their tales of success and failure.
Stories about catastrophes in their lives had given him tremendous inspiration, because he was experiencing challenges and difficulties. John learned that although they faced difficulty they still made it. He had come to understand, that success doesn't depend on anything except working hard, right planning and persisting.
No matter where you're born, what age, which family you come from, as high as you can aim, you can reach. But, the key is to "never give up, no matter what the failure, try going up, over, around or through, but never give up" John realized that no matter what your circumstances are, you can create a life of success.
John was in the presence of men from all walks of life, who shared their experiences with him. Through their stories grew his dreams which made him today become a successful business man who owns a company with annual real estate revenues topping $3 billion. He has explored the world for a year, reaching all its boundaries when he was in his twenties.
"I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot, and I missed. I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I have succeeded." Michael Jordan

They refused to surrender and so they reached, they had all the reasons to quit but never did. The power of continuing when there seems to be no hope can never be described in words. The result is always magical.
"It is always too soon to quit!"
Norman Vincent Peale
Your story can be one of these inspiring ones. Persist, hold tight to your wishes and never give up and you will surely accomplish greatness. Before you make the decision to quit, remember that lifes failures are the ones who give up without realizing how close they are toward achieving their aim. You may be close to accomplishing! Think before you act. Make a choice regardless of how you feel, think rationally. Giving up still won't get you anywhere but by persevering you will eventually achieve.
