Sitting across the table at a dinner party some years ago, a well accomplished business man, 25 years my senior said “the greatest lesson I learned in life is that you never give up.” He went on to talk about being successful, that no matter what you do, never give up.

Maybe it is every day, or every week, every month, or every year- you find yourself trying to change something about yourself. You may want to change how you feel, your health, what you think, how you behave, the quality of your relationships, or what you do. Time and time again you find yourself failing, as if you are caught in a rip tide being pulled under.

What gives? How do you change? As the words of that gentleman, always ring in my head…

In order to succeed at anything, you never, ever give up!

No matter how long it takes, one day the change will become reality.

When you feel down that you do not see the progress you want, do not give up!

When you stumble and fall, climb back up to your feet and try, try again!

If people are cutting you down, cover your ears and change the words you can’t, to you can and you will!

If unstable circumstances thrash your plans, remember it is mind over matter. Adapt and stay focused!

Never, ever give up!

For those who persevere see dreams become reality. Those who stay the course see obstacles become obsolete. Those who never quit, rise like warriors from the ashes. They gain wisdom, character, and victory because they never, ever gave up!
