DON’T GIVE UP
I give up, that’s something that come to my mind when i failed at something, when i don’t get what i want and don’t expect something that i don’t want.
And then i feel like i’m at bottom of the sea cannot breath. And then i read this http://tinybuddha.com/blog/why-we-dont-always-get-what-we-want .
Great blog to read from that blog i know something, if i’m failed i don’t learn from anything (even though you are very upset). Yes i know when you are feel upset, you are like nothing, you don’t want to eat anything, you eyes is like sleepy every time. Yes you need a buffer time from the upset to back to spirit. But How much time the buffer is actually need ?
I don’t know. Its depends on what is your failure, how is your mental accept this failure, how big the impact, are you jealous to another people that succeed than you at the same thing.
I remember when i’m hiking to Gunung Gde, i choose to hike cause i need to reflect am i too arrogant, careless, ignore God, etc. I’m fat, i’m slow, never doing sports to improve my fitness to hike. And yes, i need 10 Hours to hike, normal time is 6 hour, but i’m doing it. In the middle of hiking, i want to give up, i can’t make it, i’m very tired. But every step that i take i’m thinking don’t give. If i’m give up on this , maybe i’ll give up on problem in my real life. And then, i succeed to hike until top of the mountain.
I remember
- 2 Chronicles 15:7 “But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded.”
- Galatia 6 : 9 “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
Every religion teach us to not easy to surrender and maybe some of you are don’t believe in bible because bible is written by human, but i think this is too beautiful to remember when we are giving up
