Never Give Up!

I have been researching and trying to figure this marketing thing out. It has been fun. I have also been writing a lot. In the past week, I have produced around 15,000 words between short stories and Soulbound War. 

Recently I have seen several individuals talk about giving up at one thing or another. Most felt overwhelmed at the complexity or difficulty of a task. Someone asked me if I was going to give up when I mentioned how hard learning all of this had been.

These next words are for anyone thinking about giving up:

Successful people have one thing in common. They never give up, they don’t even consider it as an option. They start a task and it must be finished. 

In my life, I have been accomplishing the impossible for years. The thing that changed it all for me was taking part in an activity for Junior Leadership Training.  The instructor tasked us with constructing a catapult, capable of launching an object fifty feet, with long lashing poles, rope and paper plates. Initial reactions ranged from disbelief to anger. The group of three I was with set out to accomplish our task.

We pull together and actually did it. Using only our hands, we raised a structure that towered over us and was just barely capable of completing the task. 

To me this was the equivalent of building the pyramids of Egypt. If at 14 years old I could build that, I knew as an adult I would be able to accomplish anything. 

There are ways that I break down complex and difficult tasks to keep it from becoming overwhelming. That isn’t what's important. Never giving up. If I truly want something, I will get it and you can too.
