Never Give Up as Long as You Are Still Breathing

“Seeds strive to become plants by forcing their way through the soil. We can learn from this and push through the struggles we face in life. If they can survive, we can do much more. Keep pushing and pressing forward. Your best is yet to come!” - Kemi Sogunle

We all go through life struggles and pain. It may be childhood pain, pain from the past or pain from rejection, pain from losing a loved one or pain from uncertainty. We often hold on to the pain and may lose hope in your journey. Trying to find love or embrace others may contribute more to the inflicted pain. Having to face all the struggles may overwhelm us and we may try to give up on hoping, believing and trusting others as well as ourselves.

Life can become very challenging while still trying to make it through everyday living. Life can throw us a curve-ball but we have to make sure we do not quit before trying again.

Look at the seed. The planter digs and places the seed in the soil, waters it with the hope that it will someday germinate and spring to life. The seed with determination and resources to survive, forces its way through the soil to become a plant, adding its greenish and vibrant color to nature while beautifying the garden. If we look at life from this perspective, we will realize the need to push through circumstances we face, even though we may feel let down or tired along the way.

Once we begin to see obstacles as stepping stones, we will be on our way towards achieving greatness in life’s journey.

Pain can only result in growth, if we learn to focus on the lessons and blessings. Learning as much as we can and putting the lessons into best practices that can make our lives become better not bitter. We must not let our emotions and our fears limit us from thriving and becoming the best version of us.

“The rose plant does not think about the thorns on its stem but it finds a way through and turns out to be one of the most desired flowers that bloom and bring joy to the hearts of many.” – Kemi Sogunle

We should never give up as long as we still have breath and life to sustain us. Life may seem challenging at some point in time but learning to push through the challenges we face while trying again We are still alive to fulfill a purpose and that should be enough to encourage us to keep going. Just like the seed, we must continue to find ways to survive and overcome. We must connect to our being and draw strength from deep within so that we can become stronger, wiser and better daily. There is so much ahead of us as long as we keep our faith, believe and know that we can achieve all we set our minds on.
