Have you ever tried to fix something that you depend on and each time you try you dont get it right? You try again and still dont get it right. You even think of quitting it, and you even stop for few minutes or days but realise that you really need this done and you get back to it and finally get it right, the feeling of not quitting once you achieve the end result is worth it.
If you have tried something for few days or months and not get the results you are looking for you become so frustrated to a point of wanting to quit. I try to think of people like Sir Kernel Sanders of KFC who knocked at 1009 doors selling his KFC recipe. At some point Im sure he thought of quitting but something in him kept pushing him because he believed in his recipe, and his life was depending on it. He got his YES 1010th time of trying and he died a billionaire. I also try to think of Thomas Edison who invented the light bulb we are using today. He failed 1000 times before getting it right. Something in him told him that he is almost there till he got it right. I can count so many people who died successful simply because they didn’t get discouraged by the process of getting it right. And yet we become so quick to give up when we dont get it right the first or second time.
One thing you will notice from people who went through the process of getting it right is that they kept on pushing because what they were working on they did like their lives depend on it. When you know that what you are working on your life depends on it, it becomes very difficult to quit it. Even when you think of quitting, something tells you that if you quit then what. And that will be the reason to go back at it again and again. That process is shaping you and changing the way you see things and the way you think becomes transformed. Before you quit, ask yourself this question, if you quit this then what else do you have as a back up? If you have something else as a back up then you will easily quit because you have something to fall back on. And you will end up losing the best person that was supposed to come out of you when you should’ve kept going. You might not see the results now, but the internal transformation is taking place each day. And when external results finally come, you would’ve achieved those results internally already.
