Never Give Up

Never give up
I am talking to you.
Never give up.

Wait! What! Say it again!
Yes, do not give up on the life-changing dreams with which you are busy.
Persuasion, persistence and endurance are the keys.
Self-confidence, self-determination and visualisation are the processes.

But, let go of bad habits.
Drop the negativity, stubbornness and self-pity
Replace with humbleness.

Be humble in whatever you do and encounter.

Look at you.
You feel targeted.
Targeted for what and by whom?
Take off and be silent.
Listen to your innermost side.

Frame that burning desire to excel again and again.
Can I call you “my friend”?
Because, never give up!
You have what it takes.

Stop!
Listen again.
Pause for a minute.
Can you hear the silence?
Are you eager to discover what follows?

It is time to shape your next chapter.
Start with your childhood dream
Because never give up.
You own your dreams and owe them to yourself.
