On August 18th it is International Never Give Up Day. This day is all about cultivating a mindset of determination.
This is a very special day for everyone, as we all hope for and seek the joys of life. It is essential to remember that life itself always comes with obstacles. It is important to realize that these obstacles are never permanent. Hence, it is important to always look out for the positive aspects of every situation, because the pain you experience today will one day become a layer of joy and a way for you to help someone else who finds themselves in a similar position.
Here are three ways you can cultivate a "never give up" lifestyle:
1. Stay away from negative talk
Negativity can easily demotivate us and push us to give up. It is necessary to steer clear of conversations or people that promote negativity.
2. Treasure your close relationships
Value and maintain close connections with friends, family, or loved ones who bring you joy and will support you even in moments of difficulty and hardship.
3. Persevere and ask for help
This is one of the hardest steps, but it is still a crucial way to maintain a "Never Give Up" lifestyle. With the support of close loved ones or the people around you (colleagues, friends, etc.), it is always possible to overcome challenging circumstances. Sometimes, asking for help is difficult because we fear appearing weak. However, by seeking help, we can find the assistance we need to move forward.
