Don’t give up before the miracle happens!
So, it’s the last day of August, which means we have 4 more months left in the year. If you’re like most people, you started off the year with specific goals and a list of accomplishments for 2014.
And like most people, you probably either have given up on your goals and vision, or you’re struggling to achieve them. If you’re at the stage where you feel about to give up (or have given up), this post is for you!
At some point in our lives, we come across times of frustration and disappointment. This can be in our business, career, or life in general.
We work hard, follow the rules and take steps to live our dreams… however nothing happens.
The change we want to see does not seem to be transpiring, and we wonder if we can ever have or create the life we want. It is at those times that we want to give up and quit.
One of my favourite authors and manifesting teachers, the late Florence Scovel Shinn writes,
“Every great work, every big accomplishment, has been brought into manifestation through holding to the vision, and often just before the big achievement, comes apparent failure and discouragement.”
This is a favourite quote of mine, and one that I go to when I come across any setback in my life or business.
The thing is, we will all experience times when we want to give up on our goals. This is particularly the case if you take on something big, that’s outside your comfort zone.
The first thought when you come across obstacles is to quit and go back to what is safe and comfortable. However, we all know that staying in our comfort zone does not give us the growth and expansion that we’re meant to have. It’s quite ironic that as humans we resist change and find comfort in what is familiar and what we know.
However, we are built to have a need for expansion and to reach beyond where we are. Thus, comes the struggle of life, the need to change and grow, but then resisting that change and growth.
One of the best ways of overcoming this is to stick with the change and work long enough for it to materialize. It’s just a matter of holding on to your vision and doing the work long enough for the miracle to happen and for your dreams to come to fruition. Look how many times Edison attempted to invent the lightbulb.
When a reporter asked, "How did it feel to fail 1,000 times?"
Edison replied, "I didn’t fail 1,000 times. The light bulb was an invention with 1,000 steps."
See your journey and ‘set-backs’ as just another step towards the attainment of your dreams.
So, if you’re about to give up, I want to remind you that your miracle is just around the corner. Can you hold on long enough to experience it? Let me know in the comment below.
