Don't Give Up and Don't Give In
This post is a Motivational post to all the folks out here on Steemit.
There are numerous instances in our life that we think that we are not going anywhere with our career, our relationships were not great, our health should be better. These thoughts are actually creating a negative atmosphere around you. In this fast-moving world, everyone wants a quick solution to every problem. Everyone wants to be rich and that too instant without doing any hard work. And if someone does not get it, they think that they are not capable of doing it.
Let me tell you a story
Have you seen a Chinese bamboo tree, it looks like something below.

To grow one you have to follow a strict rule, in which you have to water it every single day for 5 years. Yes 5 Years, if you fail any single day the tree will die. Now after 5 years staying below the ground, this tree will climb up to 90 feet in another 2 months.
The moral of this story is simple, have patience. You can also read my previous post on Patience is the Key to Success.
Now coming back to the post if you think you are getting a lot of Negative thoughts and you want to forget it completely. To disappoint you, I must say that there is nothing which can completely make you forget those thoughts and you should also don't indulge yourself in things that will help you forgot things for a shorter time. I have a better alternatives, start doing any of these things :)
- Read a book.
- Watch an inspirational video.
- Watch a ted talk.
- Help Someone with something.
- Exercise
- Or whatever you feel like which will keep you happy
These things not only change your mood but also give you a feeling of empowerment because a small positive momentum will help you to move towards positive direction. This positive momentum can do wonders, they can take you places which you wouldn't have think of. Just start a baby step towards positive direction and Don't give up / Don't give in. Where there's a will, there's a way
You're so right, patience is so important to being successful. A lot of people try for a little while and then just give up. It is the same with steemit, maybe people will try for a few months but then they will give up because its not working out as well as they had hoped.
stick with it

That's absolutely true, don't give up that's the whole motto to be successful :)

Good advice even if I don't agree with watching Ted Talks. Some of those talks are globalist propaganda. You need to discern what is good from propaganda when watching those vids. http://www.salon.com/2013/08/11/ted_talk_is_propaganda_tool_for_chinese_communism_partner/
@deepwaterscrypto That's true, I am not saying that you should watch all the Ted Talks, but whatever gives you that positive vibe should be seen :)
Thanks
TED talks are hilarious sometimes. https://steemit.com/funny/@pjcswart/ted-talks-are-the-mouthpiece-of-establishment-intellectuals
Fantastic..!
Thanks @nomishiekh
This is a brilliant thought Hemant. One should never give up or give in on anything. Be positive always. Thanks for sharing. Upvoted and following u. Please review my new posts posted on India discord channel if possible and provide your feedback. Regards Nainaz
That's true @nainatengra :)
Patience is a virtue they say! Yes it takes time for anything to grow, but your example of the bamboo tree is really incredible. I had no idea they took so long to sprout but I know their growth can be so rapid that on a good day in proper conditions you can physically see them grow. Good analogy for starting on Steemit, you might not see much at the beginning, but keep putting in the work and eventually you will see rapid growth :)
The main motto of sharing with Steemians is because of the analogy with Steemit. I can see a lot of people get frustrated when they earn little. But you have to think that it is learning phase and when you learn all the bits and pieces of Steemit, you are gonna touch sky. Thanks for the valuable comment :)
Read a good book. That is the best way to get your mind off of things, but it is an interactive activity and your problems can get in the way. So, watch a movie, take a walk, listen to good music (not sad), or.... get a pet! Having something else to care about and that gives you love in return is the best medicine.
That's a very nice advice @ajdohmen, whatever you feel that will make you happy you should do it but never give up :)
Those bamboo trees are pretty cool. Upvoted and resteemed! I hope you have a wonderful day! 😀 😃 😄 😁 😆 Thanks for following me by the way.
Thanks @pjcswart :)
