How to keep on going even if you feel like quitting

“Never surrender until the challenge turns you into a champion.” 

― Hiral Nagda

Here are some tips on how to not quit:

  1. Set realistic goals: When setting goals, make sure they are achievable and realistic. Unrealistic goals can lead to frustration and disappointment, which can make you more likely to quit.
  2. Break tasks into smaller steps: Large tasks can be overwhelming and make you feel like quitting. Break them down into smaller, more manageable steps to make them less daunting.
  3. Focus on progress, not perfection: Don’t get discouraged if you don’t achieve perfection. Instead, focus on the progress you’ve made and celebrate your accomplishments.
  4. Find motivation: Identify what motivates you and use it to keep going. This could be a reward, a sense of accomplishment, or the desire to improve yourself.
  5. Surround yourself with support: Surround yourself with people who support and encourage you. They can provide motivation and help you stay on track.
  6. Take breaks: Taking breaks can help you recharge and avoid burnout. Just make sure to get back to work after your break.
  7. Learn from setbacks: Setbacks are a natural part of any journey. Instead of giving up, use them as an opportunity to learn and grow.

Remember, quitting is not the end of the world. Sometimes it’s necessary to reassess your goals and priorities. However, if you want to achieve something, it’s important to keep going and not give up at the first sign of difficulty.

― Elizabeth Taylor
