NEVER STOP TRYING

Even when your strength wanes, never stop trying. Trying is not what you do to become successful, trying is an actual success; it is a form of victory. To never stop trying is to engage in a silent, relentless conversation with your own potential; it is to look at a mountain not as an obstacle, but as an invitation to unleash the climber within you. Every attempt, whether it ends at the top, or a stumble, forms new strength in your character, and in it grit, and resilience is built.

A child learning to walk does not fall once, and stay on the ground, he does not see the fall as failure, and decide to keep crawling, and never try to walk again. Each fall is not a defeat, but an invitation to start again. They learn to balance their weight, to trust their tiny legs, even when it trembles. They never quit trying, or stop believing they will walk firm and upright one day; and one day, they do, not because they never fell, but because they never stopped trying.

The world will often measure you by your finished products, your polished triumphs; but you must measure yourself by your relentless restarts. There will be days when fatigue is your closest companion; when the voice of doubt is louder than the voice of hope. On those days, trying is not about the big efforts, but the little ones that keeps you going. It is reading one page of a book, taking one more step, taking the decision to bend, but not break; it is to pause, but not stop.

The glory is not on the finish line, it is in the rise after every fall; it is in going again, despite the failure. Never stop trying, that is the proof that you are alive, that you are growing; and you are already, quietly, winning the most important battle; the one against the part of you that ever considered giving up. The path is made by walking, and every single step, even the hesitant ones, carries you forward; so, keep going.


To a better you, Kamikun John.
