There is only one real reason why people are not successful. They give up early. Difficulties, failures are all temporary troubles. But if a person stops trying, then he does not even have a chance of success. In this article, we have collected 20 reasons and inspiring examples that will not allow you to give up even in the most difficult moments.

There are periods in our life when it seems that the world has turned its back on us: work does not stick, opportunities slip out of hand, one trouble is replaced by another, and the desire to give up everything, go away and never come back matures.

I have compiled a list of 20 reasons that I hope will give you the motivation and inspiration to keep moving forward despite all the difficulties. After all, it often happens that people stop fighting and give up, being just one step away from the cherished goal.

1. Remember: as long as you are alive, anything is possible

There is only one good reason to stop fighting for your goals and dreams - death. As long as you are alive, healthy and free, you have every opportunity to keep moving towards your goals. And do this until you reach them.

2. Stay realistic

The chance to master something the first time is negligible. It takes time (sometimes a long time) to learn something, get the right skills, and figure out how to apply them correctly.

Let yourself be wrong and learn from your mistakes.

3. Be persistent like Michael Jordan

Michael is perhaps the best athlete in the history of basketball. He himself says that his path to the pinnacle of fame lay through constant failure. And his whole secret was that he never gave up and did not give up. He did not give up even when he realized that he had missed more than 300 shots, and many times he failed the last decisive throw, which he was entrusted to make. Whenever Michael fell, he found the strength to rise again.

4. Learn the will to live from Lance Armstrong

Cyclist Lance Armstrong was diagnosed with cancer by doctors and the disease gradually killed him. Nevertheless, Lance found the strength and faith to defeat her. Moreover, after recovering, he became the only athlete who finished first in the overall Tour de France six times in a row.

5. Remember the story of a person whose act led to the idea of a marathon

In ancient times, when the Persians landed on the shores of Greece, an envoy was sent to Sparta to ask for help in the fight against the Persians. All hope was placed on this messenger, because there were simply no other ways of communication and help.

Legend has it that this man on his feet covered a distance of 240 kilometers in just two days. And a little later he ran another 40 kilometers to announce the victory of the Greeks over the Persians. However, after that he died on the spot.

When the challenges that have befallen your lot seem too difficult and you want to give up, remember this story and think what inhuman efforts this first marathon runner had to make to overcome such a distance in such a short time. Don't try to do the same, but use this story for inspiration.

6. Pull yourself off the bottom like Chris Gardner

Have you seen the movie The Pursuit of Happyness? It is based on real events from the life of Chris Gardner. This is a man who was able to pull himself out of the very bottom of a beggarly life, when there was no work, no housing, no food. Nevertheless, Chris found the strength not to give up where many other people would retreat, and to achieve his goal. He became a millionaire.

If thoughts of giving up everything creep into your head, I recommend watching the movie "The Pursuit of Happyness" starring Will Smith.

7. Be strong like Kanye West

You've probably heard about this famous rap artist. Read his biography, I'm sure it will inspire you. This is a story about how to survive, having the bare minimum of existence, and become one of the most famous and respected people in the world.

8. Stay true to your principles, like Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela is one of the most prominent human rights activists in South Africa. His life story is impressive in that he spent 27 years in prison for his political views, which he chose not to give up even in exchange for freedom.

9. Know that you are strong

You are stronger than you think. One small obstacle cannot and should not stop you from achieving your goals, just like the next 10, 20, or even 100 obstacles.

10. Prove to yourself that you can

It is unlikely that you want to be remembered as a person who is weak and unable to realize himself. Go, prove to yourself and the whole world that you can, that you are worthy and will definitely achieve your goals, no matter what. The only way for you to lose is to give up yourself.

11. Have you done this before?

If someone has already done what you intended before you, then you can do it too. Even if there is only one person in the world who was able to do this, this is already strong proof that you can do it too.

12. Believe in a dream

Don't sell yourself cheap! There will be many more people in life who will want to keep you where you are now. They will convince you that you have conceived the impossible and you need to face the truth. My advice to you: don't let anyone ruin your dream.

13. Family and Friends Need You

Let your loved ones and people close to you become a source of inspiration and motivation for you to force yourself to move on. Try and don't give up for them if you don't find a reason to do it for yourself.

14. Don't give up because I ask you to

I am not a guru or any authority for you, and yet, if you are thinking about giving up and turning away from the path, do not do it. If only because I asked you about it.

15. There are people in a worse position

There are many people right now who are in a much more difficult situation than you. Therefore, when waking up with the thought of canceling your morning run, remember how many people in the world cannot even walk and how much they are willing to give to be able to run every morning.

So take the amazing opportunity to live the fullest life that you have.

16. "Get Rich or Die"

This phrase belongs to Curtis Jackson (50 Cent). 50 Cent is rich and he made it all himself. And the fact that he was shot nine times did not stop him. Come face to face with your fears and do not take the easy path, which usually means only one thing - to give up.

17. Let your enemies hate you

There will always be those who will hate. There will always be many skeptics and people who will try to drag you down with them. Ignore them or take what they say to heart. Let the skeptics doubt, but you continue to believe in yourself.

18. You deserve to be happy

Never let anyone convince you otherwise. You deserve to be happy and successful. Stick to this position and never doubt it until you reach your cherished goal.

19. Inspire others

Become an example to others, like a person who never, under any circumstances, gives up. Who knows what someone else can achieve just by looking at you one day and also deciding to never give up.

20. You Never Know How Close To Success

Many people gave up, not even suspecting that they were just one step away from success. No one knows for sure when success will come. Perhaps this will happen tomorrow, or maybe in a year or two. But if you stop, stop trying, and give up, you won't reach it in 10 years or even at the end of your life.

The next time you want to give up everything, think, because it is very possible that success awaits you already around the next corner.

All that is required of you is not to give up!
