How To Start Winning Instead Of Quitting

Did you ever feel like quitting?

When your keep on keeping on wants to quit and your ability is not that strong; When your life is a mess; you want something that's the best, yet you don't know how to walk out the rest; What to do/what to do, this is the question that arises up in me and you!

How do you pull yourself up from a quitter's mentality?

If you want to get from here to there, you need a vehicle that takes the wear and tear. To drive that vehicle you'll need some keys, the rest will come very easy. Now you know, driving a car for the first time takes some practice and some skill. There are many things that you must do to get your driver's license and pass. But I can tell you this, you can't get it by sitting on your gluteus-max.

You need some motivation; you need to believe. Yes, this is in everyone of us. It's your gasoline. Maybe your tank is on low, maybe it's half-full, maybe today you have a full tank. Your mind is the engine that enables your car to go. In retrospect, your mind is the battlefield that keeps us in our current state or gives us a breakthrough to help us to go to the next phase. It can propel us into our future or keep us where we are in life today. The past has to go. Let me encourage you to push down the pedal of hope today. Your life is more than what you see it to be.

What if you find your motivational tank is out of gas and you have no more money to refuel?

Ok, you've done all that you can think to do. You tried changing your mental attitude. Crazy thoughts still run rampant in your own mind. Where is the stop sign? No matter how much you try, these thoughts keep pulling you down leaving you on the roadside. Put a red flag upon your car, people will come to your aid. You say, what do you mean? What are you talking about? I'm talking about get around some encouraging people. If you know none, this is your first assignment. Start to look for some. Find some new friends that will boost you up when your down.

I'm not talking about the people that want to find all the answers for you or solve all your problems. Nor am I talking about the people that have so much advice that it just confuses you. Did I mention the ones that are more negative than you, and it just feels like their comments on life keep slapping you. Stay out of the misery loves company highways and byways. The train of self-pity will get you no where, so please, don't buy the ticket. Ok, that should have knocked out a big percentage of the population. So, who am I talking about?

I'm talking about true people who will love and encourage you no matter where you are in your walk in life. These people will have extra fuel to give to you. Get around them. They know how to fuel up, and they know how to give fuel out. Now don't be offended when the trust you have built between your relationship gets challenged. They just might have to step on your toes a little bit to get you to see something a little bit clearer. Constructive critism is like water to clay. If you can't take any constructive critism, your clay will be so hard that no matter what anyone says or does it really just won't matter.

Congratulations, your tank is now full.

A job well-done. Now, you'll need to do what someone did for you. Reach in your pocket and grab some spare keys. You might just have to hand them out to a friend or two. Do you have any gasoline to give to take them to enable them on their road for life? Maybe, they are broken down, busted, and disgusted. By stopping, you could aid them in their final destiny in life. Remember the more that you pour out, the more someone will keep pouring into you. No gasoline shortage in this realm. It's an endless supply. Encouragement is the fumes that keep propelling me and you. Take a deep breath, and breathe some in today.

Once your tank is full, put your eyes on the road. Keep your hands on the wheel. Don't take your foot off the gas pedal. Now, drive. Remember to keep your eyes off yourself and your situation. Let your mind see beyond where you are today. Focus on your destination, your destiny, and your purpose of life. Keep your eyes on the signs. Follow the directions. You'll arrive just fine. Keep looking ahead. There are many promises waiting for you and me. Your destiny waits for you to grab the keys.
