You Can Always Choose to Give Up

But where’s the fun in that?

Life can be hard. Some days, you probably wonder why you even bothered getting out of bed. I know I feel that way sometimes.

Everyone has days where it feels like no matter what you do, you are behind, failing, losing ground, and/or otherwise struggling. No matter what you do, how much you give, all the ways that you try, it feels pointless and not very worthwhile.

The truth of the matter — of any matter — is that you can always choose to give up.

This can be on many levels and in many shapes and sizes. It can be temporary or with great finality. This can be a matter of positivity or negativity. Whatever the case might be, you can always choose to give up.

But where’s the fun in that? Realistically, what would life be like if you never struggled, everything was handed to you on silver platters, and you faced no challenges and no real opposition? It wouldn’t be long before you’d be bored. And boredom would lead to feeling even more frustrated than you feel when you’re struggling.

Believe it or not, how much you struggle in any given situation is often your choice. When you pause and reflect on a given experience or situation, you might be amazed to learn just how much harder you have gone about making it than it…
