Were there times you wanted to give up?

Humans as we are, we cannot avoid being subjected to somewhat unbearable trials. Those with strong hearts can just ignore them, but those who are weak and vulnerable like to give up on what has been started. But for me, I will never give up. I have to give it another try and if still cannot be achieved, I have to replace them with one easy-to-manage kind of life. Do not force yourself to do something not achievable for that would stress your heart and mind causing you to surrender. Never give up because when there is life, there is hope.
Agree or disagree? Thank you, guys, for reading, sharing is caring.

oh dear, you need to be strong that's part of life's trial. But I'm glad that you're able to stand from where you fall.

''Never Give Up'' is my theme and has been for years. I don't give up. It's just not an option.

Very good Marie, only cowards and fools give us, not us because there is God in our lives and we entrust everything on His mercy. Amen.

I've never been a quitter. Not about to start now, either.

Many times, I have thought of giving up or quitting. And I allow myself to do so, but just in my head. I don't really take action whenever I am emotional. Once I am calmed and thinking straight, I will weigh the things that will affect my decision/s, and then I'll take action.

I do give up many times on many things. I'm very patient but if something is difficult, then I quit wasting time on it.

@mildredtabitha , that is a very good option to take another try and replace the difficult one to avoid mental and emotional stresses.

It certainly takes great wisdom to know when to give up, and when to push on.
Both decisions can be right in their times, and we should not push a barrel uphill for no good reason either.
We should have a purpose behind all that we do.
