Never Give Up….

Never means that at no time in the past, present, or future; on no occasion; not ever. Simply put it means that we will never do something; not now, not ever. So don’t hold your breath for me to change my mind. I will never give up.

The Bible speaks several times about the term never. It speaks of what God will never do. The following is just a few of the things that God will never do.

  • God will never leave us

“ Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”

—- Deuteronomy 31:6 NIV (New International Version)
  • God will never forsake you

“Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.’”

— Hebrews 13:5 ESV (English Standard Version)
  • God will Never let the righteous be shaken

“Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.”

— Psalm 55:22 NIV
  • God will Never forget me

“Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of of her womb? Yea, they may forget, yet I will not forget thee.”

— Isaiah 49:15 KJV (King James Version)
  • God will never let me go

“And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.”

— John 10:28 NJKV ( New King James Version)

If God never gives up on us, how can we give up on ourselves? We need to follow God’s example and NEVER give up.

Persistence: Are We Persistent in Our Life?

“He may not get up and give you the bread, just because you are his friend. But he will get up and give you as much as you need, simply because you are not ashamed to keep asking.”

— Luke 11:8 CEV (Contemporary English Version)

Persistence is the act or fact of stubbornly continuing to do something. It is being extremely determined to accomplish a task regardless of how long it might take. When you are persistent, you might fail along the way, but you learn that in your failure you gain another opportunity to learn. You will learn to overcome any challenges you might face.

This is a wonderful quote, and it is so very true. Obstacles, problems, and circumstances may try to stop you, but the only person that can is you. Be persistent. Never give up. Keep trying over and over again until you succeed.

“Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.”

— James 1:2-4 NIV (New International Version)
YouVersion@Bible.com

Willpower is possibly a tremendous incentive to enable you to push yourself harder and make you continue to strive for more. It is what gets you up after you have fallen, or experienced failure. It gives you the gumption, the resolution to forge ahead on your road to success. That is what is known as persistence.

Patience, persistence,
and perspiration
make an unbeatable
combination for success.

You and I may at times feel like giving up, succumbing to our failures, but we need to Never Give Up and always be Persistent in every area of our lives. Why? Persistence is a virtue we need to cultivate. It is hanging in there and keep pressing on Irregardless of how tough our circumstances might be. It is at those times when we persevere that we are able to grow and become more spiritually mature in our lives. Perseverance, being persistent, builds a strong character within us. We develop a strong character by overcoming difficulties in our lives, sticking to our goals despite the difficulties, thereby making us stronger people in many aspects of our lives.

Let us all keep being persistent in our lives. Never Giving Up, but continually striving to become a better, stronger person by not giving in to our failures. Let us learn from our mistakes and grow through our perseverance.

God Bless. Thank You! Never forget I appreciate y’all.

Failure or Success: Quotes and thoughts for today

An Inventor
fails
999 times,
and if he
succeeds once,
he’s in.
~~ Charles Kettering

Failure is lacking the success or the inability to achieve a determined expectation. Is failure good or bad? Is failure beneficial? Can we learn from our failures?

Failure is beneficial and an essential aspect of our self-development. Albert Einstein stated, “ Failure is success in progress”. How is failure beneficial?

When you know and accept failure as a possibility, you learn to not let fear of failure hold you back. You accept that failure is apart of trying. Sometimes you fail, other times you succeed. However, if you never try you won’t have the opportunity for failure or success. Therefore, you always need to push yourself to keep trying.

The following are some of the many failure of failure:

I can’t

a recipe
for success,
but
I can

a recipe
for failure:

everybody.
~~ Frank Langella
  • Failure builds character – It makes you a humbler person. It can make you stronger and enable you to become more honest with yourself.
  • Failure builds compassion – having failed you can understand and empathize when others have similar failures.
  • Failure builds resilience – Failure is not a stopping point, it is a bouncing off point to regroup, refocus, and strive to improve.
  • Failure builds creativity – Allows you to try other ways, be more creative in your approaches in working to accomplish your goals.
  • Failure is a blessing in disguise – one cannot succeed without having first failed. It gives us the opportunity to learn from our mistakes and allows us to appreciate our success.
  • Fear of Failure is worse than failure itself. Look for the lessons from it, then your chances for success will increase.

Realize you cannot please everyone, if you try you will surely fail. Believe that failure is not fatal; it takes courage to continue. Never give up. Success is not impossible. It comes from the struggles, the defeats, the learning, the progress and through the courage to keep keeping on. Believe in yourself.

God bless. May you be blessed in disguise. Keep keeping on. Be creative. Be courageous. Keep learning. Never give up. Always continue to try.

ADVICE: What would your advice be to your teenage self?

Never Look Down on Anybody…..

If you could go back in time, would you? Would you go back and give yourself some advice? Would giving yourself advice change the outcome of how you live is right now? Yes, we have all made mistakes in our lives, but I believe we have all learned from them. I, at least, hope I have. Going back in time and giving advice to oneself could be a dangerous thing. Why? If we took our own advice, did things differently, our mistakes would not necessarily be the same. We would still make mistakes no doubt about that, but the lessons we learned would be different and the transitions we’ve gone through in life would not be the same. Therefore, we would be in an alternate universe so to speak. Plainly speaking, we would not be where we are today. At this point in time, if we listened to our own advice and made changes to how we lived. Then again, only God knows what the outcome would be.

ADVICE

Giving advice would mean that we were giving ourselves guidance, opinions, or recommendations regarding our future actions and conduct. Would that be a good or bad? Giving advice to yourself after everything you’ve lived and experienced might hinder yourself from taking the time to look inward and listen to yourself. To learn on your own, at that particular time period, who you are and what you want out of life. Advice should only be given if it is sought after. Even though we have learned that we probably should have done some things differently when we were teenagers, we might not have listened to the advice we gave ourselves if we went back in time to give it.

Now we are at an impasse. Do we give ourselves advice? What would be the best advice to give ourselves? There is not just one specific piece of advice I would give myself, but several suggestions would be made. The following is a list of some of the suggestions I would advise myself.

  • Never Give Up….You are stronger than you think…You can do anything.
  • Never try to be someone else…you are perfect exactly as you are.
  • Stay true to your faith…. Live your life for God
  • Take time to know yourself…Learn who you are.
  • Worry less…live in the present
  • Don’t make assumptions…. they’re usually wrong
  • Be courageous…. Step out of your Comfort Zone
  • Trust yourself… Have faith in your abilities
  • Smile… Laugh… Be kind… your life will be different by doing so
  • Always be the best person you can be.
  • Do not judge… you never know what someone has been through

The list could go on forever, but I won’t. Always choose your words wisely, they can never be undone. You can beat the odds. Know what you are meant to do and don’t let anyone, or anything prevent you from doing what you know in your heart you are meant to do.

God bless. Be the best you can be. Stay true to yourself. Keep the faith. Please feel free to like, comment, and follow. I appreciate y’all.

Life lesson: NEVER GIVE UP

Life Lessons – http://www.invajy.com

What is a life lesson you feel everyone can benefit from? There is an abundance of lessons you go through in life. What we learn from them is up to us. Life lessons are sometimes referred to as valuable experiences. A life lesson is something from which useful knowledge or principles can be learned. Have you ever learned a lesson from your life you wish you could pass on to others? Perhaps, so they will not make the same mistakes, or possibly for them to gain insights from lessons you have learned.

Types of lessons one can learn in life are numerous. Most of our important life lessons we tend to learn the hard way. We often make mistakes, make choices we later regret, but if we learn from them then it becomes valuable. The following is a few examples of the possible lessons we could learn.

  1. Walk your own path…be yourself
  2. Don’t hesitate when you should act…take the risk
  3. Experience what you have learned…
  4. Good things do not come easy…
  5. Never fail to try more…. keep trying
  6. Take care of your health early….
  7. Make every moment count…. Don’t waste it
  8. Live and let live….
Past has no power

One of the lessons I am continually learning comes from the Bible. That is to always trust God.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And he shall direct your paths.”

Proverbs 3:5-6
Proverbs 3:5-6

What does that mean, to trust in the Lord? It basically means that we/I should not depend upon ourselves, on what we/I know, but trust God with all our hearts. We might not know what his plan is, however, it is usually better than any plan we develop ourselves. I need to include God in everything I say and do. In doing so, he helps give me the right words to say or lets me know what the best course of action I should be taking. Our/my mistakes, wrong choices are often made when I leave God out of the planning and don’t trust that He knows everything. His wisdom is far greater than mine.

Other lessons I feel everyone can benefit from are:

  • Never Give Up.…you may struggle, but never quit. Keep trying
  • Stay focused on your dreams, who you want to be
  • Be strong when you are weak, Brave when you are afraid, and Humble when you are victorious.
  • The most valuable relationship one can have is with Jesus Christ.
  • Alway be grateful for the good things in your life.

Thomas Edison stated: “Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.”

Enjoy living your life. Remember to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love; it is a privilege to be alive. Pass on what you learn to others. Be an inspiration. Have the courage to let go of the past, you cannot change it. You can only change yourself. You cannot change the world, but you can be a small influence in someone else’s life. The world will change by the small ripples we create.

God bless. Trust in the Lord. He will never fail you. I appreciate y’all. Be sure to like, comment, and follow.
