This happens to a lot of us. We fall under pressure and don't have the courage to get back up. In fact, in real life, this will happen to us all. Sometimes we feel we've worked too hard without result or after a failing path, things just keep getting worse and we don't want to pick ourselves back up on our feet. Life can be troubling, and we cannot prevent this. No one promised life would be easy; the journey; the destination; the result. We've tried improving ourselves for years, hoping change would hopefully differ the outcome. It never works; failure will always come to those who aren't perfect.

In life, we always seem to buckle under pressure. The results stay the same for the DSGHQ. I see lots who quit or give up just because our goals seem too far away. Sometimes we don't genuinely give up. Sometimes we want attention for what we have lost. Attention isn't always bad, but for us flawed humans it can fill up the hole of what has been missing. It's a natural instinct; we have to fill up whats not there. I know all of you have determination. This is why I feel none of you should stop at anything to get to your goals. More times than others we feel meaningless. Like no one else cares how we feel. In all honesty, I've felt this way before too. Sometimes, I feel like my mistakes are so big, even all the dirt and sand in the world couldn't fill up the hole I've dug. But I never gave up trying. In fact, part of life's process is trying and failing, and repeating this. The other is success, which is an empty void. Success can make us feel on top of the world, though because it has already been accomplished, success can also make us feel meaningless. Its like there is nothing next, but oh there is. Your decisions help create your future. Even if this future will always contain mistakes and failure, this is only the beginning of a new hope.

Failure can lead us down the path of misery. Giving up is such an easy option at the time, so we decide it won't be any harm in doing so. We end up crush our feelings and the feelings of others just because we feel our options are limited. We can all make mistakes and even betray those we love from time to time, but giving up is never an answer. Even if people hate you for the decisions you make; even if you feel like it isn't worth trying; even if the destination is so far away, you should never give up when times are tough. You become vulnerable when you stop trying. You can't let yourself nor others get in the way of your goals. Some things might be major setbacks, but that is all they are. They may make you think they harm you in many ways, but in reality your mind is messing with you. It wants you to think that giving up is the only option to make you feel better. In the end, we can only blame ourselves for getting in our own way. We need to accept that we'll always fail, but try, try again. I love that phrase; it gives me a different opinion on life. It makes me think even when we fail, we always have the option to do better. I know things can be tough; in real life you wouldn't imagine how tough some things are. I want you guys to stay strong. We can lose everything, but the only thing that can make us give up is how far we feel a journey might be. Times may be tough, but giving up should never be an option. Try, try again, and the answer might find you.

I always thought "Just give up, it's not worth it." This inspired me so much. I'm now trying harder to reach my goals. Thank you Maniac.
