Never give up

Quitting...there comes a time, and often many times, in fights, as in life, where the thought of giving up enters your mind. Often it is not even a conscious thought but our instinctual, self preservation kicking in telling us that it would be much easier to give in rather than to continue taking punishment. All the failures and setbacks, all the pain. Why keep doing this only to face more?

Unfortunately, what our subconscious doesn't tell us is that every time we surrender, every time we hold back, every time we stop pushing and allow the waves to overtake us, it only will make us that much weaker. It will only be that much easier to give up next time.

We are either getting better or we are getting worse. There is no in between.

Weakness, just like strength, is something that is developed, it is cultivated. It truly is the countless small, seemingly insignificant things that lead to success, as well as failure.

So keep moving forward. Never give up. Never stop trying. No matter how many times we fall or fail, as long as we keep getting back up then we are still heading in the right direction.-Me 👊🏼🙏🏼

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!"-Rocky
