Giving Up | The day “it” all ends to give “it” a new beginning
There will come a day in your life when you will decide to
let go of everything that you have. You will realize that even after doing
everything that you can to get a better outcome from life, all you get is a big
disappointment. This part of your life becomes a big set-back, where even your
reflection in the mirror seems a big disgrace to you. You decide it’s not worth
it.
The moment you will decide that, the
moment you will start feeling that, you have to remember why you started the
whole thing. If it made you feel better than what happened in particularly that
changed your whole perspective towards the task you were on to.
●
Was it the way you used
to do it?
● Was it your way of looking at it? Or,
● Was it the way you used to feel while doing that job?
Everything that you have been
through,
●
What was that thing that
made you come this far? And,
●
What is that thing in particular
that is missing now, which doesn’t make you feel about the job as it used to?
The road on which you started to
reach the destination you always wanted, by collecting each and every milestone
on the way, why suddenly you want to
quit?
There is an old saying, to start
something new, you should always learn to end something that is old.
But ending something like this is
not what they call end. This is just escaping a situation because it is getting
out of control, or maybe you are not getting the result you wanted.
I’m not a man of God but I do know
this,
There is this verse from,
Which closely translates to;
“You have a right to perform your prescribed duty, but you
are not entitled to the fruits of action. Never consider yourself the cause of
the result of your activities and never be attached to not doing your duty.”

That is how exactly the things work.
You just can’t expect a better outcome
only because you are working really hard.
A bull in a farm cannot just expect to fly just because it is working
really hard. To get the right outcome in life you have to put right efforts for the right job.
The moment you start believing that
just by working hard you can
actually get what you wish for. That
moment you have to understand that you haven’t been this wrong in your whole life. And when you don’t get what you actually
want, you always start looking for a way
out, a break, or to just Give up. You don’t get it, the art of putting effort in your work is about how much you love that work, the ultimate satisfaction that you can ever
get from doing that job is that you will be happy because you created
something so beautiful.
Learn to sacrifice for what you love to do, and try to learn how not to sacrifice just for the greed of a
better tomorrow. Who says, that if you are going to sacrifice today, or put
your sweat and blood in a job today then there will be a better tomorrow. And
if someone tell you this, it’s a myth. It
is just a leap of faith that you have to take.
Stop expecting things from the way you work, and from the hard work that
you are actually putting into your work. You are not here to expect things to
happen, you are here to make things happen for you, you are here to never stop
until and unless you get what you want.
You will get it someday, eventually. All you have to do is be patient and be passionate for the work that you love.
Don’t be so dependent on the outcome, understand how you are making things
happen, and how never to give up just because this is not the outcome you
expected.
The world is not here to fulfil your expectations, you are
here to make this world a better place
for yourself. Learn how to make that
happen. Try to express yourself with the work you do, and then you will
never have to expect a better outcome, you will get what you deserve.
