“It’s always too soon to quit!”
~Norman Vincent Peale

It's not that easy to achieve your dreams it's always difficult to achieve those dreams, the road is full of hindrances sometimes you get disappointed to the extent you want to give up.
So often most people wanted to quit just before a breakthrough, I'm not exception. I’ve been at the edge, ready to throw up my hands and give up in disgust, to walk away from what I wanted and what I wanted to achieve, and for some strange reason, perhaps a bit more perseverance, a bit more hope, or a bit more pressing from someone else, I’ve held on and given it one more chance …and I’ve broken through to my goal.

It seems, in reconsideration, that often the “need” to quit is strongest right before the accomplishment of my desire. Or perhaps the determination not to quit has somehow fueled me for one more effort or one more new way of thinking things through. Either way, I can look back and realize that if I’d quit when I’d wanted to, it would have been too soon.
I see the same pattern in those around me. I witness friends who are about to give up, yet put out one more effort and have success. I notice colleagues who decide not to throw in the towel, and are somehow reenergized to move forward. I watch many kids get so disappointed they nearly (and at times do) scream, and then have the “aha” moment when they understand the problem they’re facing and the solution they need.

I’m not saying that there aren’t times to give up and let things be. I am saying that when I don’t quit, even if I still let things be and perhaps lose the disappointment, I’m more likely to get what I wanted in the first place. It seems it’s most often too soon to quit.
Where have you quit? Was it too soon? Where do you want to try one more time? Next time you need to quit, see what happens if you wait it out.

Try one more time you, you may breakthrough tomorrow. It's not easy to keep trying but you don't need to give up.
Sometimes things get so tough that, the only option is to quit but if you want to quit I just want you to look back, think about how far you've come before you want to give up that easy, give it one more try it may be your breakthrough.. Success awaits you.
