Never Stop Improving
5 years ago
Time for a cheesy little speech, but just have to say it.
Never stop trying to move forward, even when told you aren't good at something. Just take that as an opportunity to grow and be better. It's just that simple.
And not in a stupid "Gillette THE BEST A MAN CAN BE" or any other current bullshit way like it that tells you should feel ashamed that you aren't as good as you can be. I am saying don't give up because you think you'll never be what you want to be. Keep trying in the hope you will either be that person you want to be... or better. Stop going "Well..." and making excuses about why you can't. Stop holding yourself back.
It's what I live by. And you know what... I'm glad I do because even if I'm not currently where I want to be with my life, I'm not gonna stop trying just because I'm not as good as I want to be. But that's me and I admit, a lot of people aren't able to do that... and that's fine, but if you have the ability to do so, then there's no reason you should ever stop trying.
That is all. Sorry if it's not the most well said, but it needed to be said. And just because it sucks doesn't mean I won't try and do better.

To be honest you're not the person I expected something like this from, and I don't mean that in a bad way.
I've been hearing this a lot from folks lately -- been struggling with my own "I can't do it" shit. And yet I still haven't given up even though I keep wanting to. I dunno what keeps me going. I'm not where I want to be, I'm not as good as I can be or want to be. So I keep trying.
It's an admirable trait, being able to not give up when faced with thoughts like those, as persistent as they get.
To be honest, though, so many times I've heard this, words like these have run super hollow. I hope, going forward, 'not giving up' will pay off. Cause I sure as hell ain't giving up on doing what I love no matter how debilitatingly hard it gets.
Kudos. Stay safe, stay strong, keep trucking on.
And it's fine, I rarely do journals or speak out like this all that often. But that's because I rarely feel I need to say it, till today when I felt a powerful need to.
If I may ask, what spurred this? This is out of nowhere, in a good way ahah.
Thank you for saying it -- I hope this sparks more people to push to pursue this, AND I hope it sparks others to support it too. Hopefully people support each other more as we all continue to grow and learn.
We need more positivity in this place anyhow.
