The thing I keep telling myself before giving up...

How are you all? You are well and healthy. I am also doing well with your prayers. Today I will discuss a very important topic with you, so definitely read the article carefully, you will like it. Sometimes there comes a time in life when you feel like you can't do it anymore. The pressure around you, the fear of failure, and the disappointment seem to be holding you back. At that very moment, when I feel like giving up everything and sitting quietly, a line keeps repeating in my head, "Get up and don't stop until you succeed." This little line by Swami Vivekananda is not just a quote written on the pages of a book to me, but an invisible magic spell.

I have thought a lot about the line in my own way. What does the word 'get up' really mean here? Does it just mean getting out of bed in the morning? Not at all. I think it is about getting up from the inertia of the mind. Many times, we sleep with a blanket of fear wrapped around us without our knowledge. "I don't think I can do it., "What will people say?" "What if I lose?"— these negative thoughts are that sleep. Waking up from this sleep is the first task of life. Whenever I am afraid to start a new task, this reminds me— first believe in yourself and stand up, and then you will see what happens!

But just get up. Standing still doesn't solve everything, and then the real struggle begins. You have to stumble again and again as you walk along the path. I have seen in my own life that even if you start something with great enthusiasm, when obstacles start to arise after a while, you don't want to move forward. It feels like, "Damn! This isn't for me." I can't." In those weak moments, the second part of Vivekananda's words gave me a strong push - "Don't stop until you succeed."

We all know that there is no shortcut to success. But how many of us can accept it? I myself have given up many times in the middle. But later, when I thought about it with a calm mind, I realized that losing does not mean everything is over; rather, stopping in the middle is the real defeat. As long as I survive on the battlefield, I have at least a chance to win! But if I stop, then the story of losing is finalized there.

So now I have made a pact with myself. No matter how many storms come in life, no matter how many people around me say "nothing can happen to you", I will not stop. Maybe it will take a little longer than others to reach my goal, maybe I will have to fail a few more times. So what! I will get up again, shake the dust off my knees, and start walking again.

Because I have only one goal, I will not stop until I reach my dream destination. Whenever I feel like my legs are no longer moving, I will remember that saying, "Get up... Wake up... Don't stop."

Well, friends, what have you learned from today's short talk? In fact, defeat in life is only for yourself, success is only for yourself, so you should try as long as you can, right?
