The Most Underrated Trait Any Person Can Have

Your life is falling to shambles.

Everyone is telling you to stop.

No one believes in you and yet, you have to keep going.

Fighting through this alone hurts so much you clutch your heart, but you cannot bear the thought of giving in now.

You’ve come so far already, so you rise again.

Slowly you make it onto your feet again, push all the doubts and fears away and go for your dream once more.

But as soon as you are standing firmly, life comes around again, swinging a solid right hook that lands straight at your jaw.

You spin, dizzy from the pain, and fall.

You failed again!

Again you got hurt trying, again the fears have been realized and again people tell you to quit.

They tell you it’s alright and that you do not have to keep going.

“You’ve done enough. Stay down. It’s not worth it.”

But you still get up again.

You look for another crappy job, try to date again or hit the gym after being out for a while.

Not because you owe it to anyone, not even because you owe it to yourself but because you cannot stand staying down.
