Never Giving Up: 'Passionately Failing Towards Greatness'.

It is finally week 70 of my weekly Blogs and boy, have I learned a lot! The one thing I have realised through it all is to never give up! Life is full of challenges, and sometimes, it can be tough to keep going. Whether it's a personal goal, a career aspiration, or a relationship, there are times when it feels like giving up is the only option. However, it's important to remember that success often comes after many failures, and the only way to achieve your dreams is to keep pushing forward.


One of the most famous examples of never giving up is the story of Thomas Edison. He failed over 1,000 times before finally inventing the light bulb. When asked about his failures, he famously said, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." This attitude is what separates successful people from those who give up too easily.


J.K. Rowling, who was rejected by multiple publishers before finally finding success with the Harry Potter series. She could have easily given up after the first rejection, but she kept going and eventually became one of the most successful authors of all time.


The key to never giving up is to have a strong sense of purpose and determination. When you have a clear goal in mind, it's easier to stay motivated and focused. It's also important to have a support system of friends and family who can encourage you when things get tough.


It's also important to remember that failure is not the end. Every failure is an opportunity to learn and grow. Instead of giving up, use your failures as a chance to improve and try again.


Arnold Schwarzenegger is a prime example of someone who never gave up on his dreams. He had a passion for bodybuilding at a young age. Despite facing many obstacles, he never gave up on his dream of becoming a professional bodybuilder.


He also faced criticism from his family and friends who did not understand his passion for bodybuilding. However, Arnold remained determined and focused on his goal.


Arnold's hard work and dedication paid off when he won his first Mr. Universe title at the age of 20. He went on to win the title four more times and became one of the most successful bodybuilders of all time. However, Arnold did not stop there. He had a passion for acting and wanted to pursue a career in Hollywood.


Arnold faced many rejections in his early acting career. He was told that his accent and bodybuilding background would prevent him from becoming a successful actor. However, Arnold did not give up. He continued to work hard and eventually landed his breakthrough role in the movie "Conan the Barbarian."


Arnold went on to become one of the most successful actors of his time, starring in blockbuster movies such as "Terminator" and "Predator." He also became involved in politics and served as the Governor of California from 2003 to 2011.


Throughout his life, Arnold never gave up on his dreams. He faced many challenges and obstacles, but he remained determined and focused on his goals.


When I reflect on my own life, I think about what I know now having never given up on the things I love. The years I've dedicated to learning about how to build and instill confidence and resilience in children and youth. Running social media pages, losing weight, writing blogs, studying at university and more. I reflect on the lessons I have learnt, the experiences I've had, the skills I've gained & the connections I've made.


Never giving up is essential to achieving your goals and dreams. It takes determination, a strong sense of purpose, and a willingness to learn from failure. Remember the stories of Thomas Edison, J.K. Rowling, Arnold Schwarzenegger and keep pushing forward no matter how many times you fail. With hard work and perseverance, you can achieve anything you set your mind to.
