STOP is a kind of word that might give you negative or positive result. Thus stopping can be a sign of weakness or acceptance? Why we have to choose between stop and go in some point of our lives.
When and what would be a reason for you if you needed to stop anything? Most relationships are the common situation we tend to stop or quit. Some are jobs with unhealthy environment or an addiction into something. Stop is a voluntary decision, the hardest part of stopping or quiting is the feeling of losing.
Losing your strength to keep on moving, losing on focus and losing your trust in yourself. When you start to feed your mind with negative thoughts, deciding to stop is waving at you. Dreams may be fulfilled to some people at an early young age but I know that it doesn't mean that their time frame of success are applicable for everone.
This is a very personal blog I've ever write, I haven't been writing this kind of thoughts that's been on my head while waiting for a successful outcome on my career path. I guess my fear to tackle about this issue can relate to someone who struggle to becomep successful in life as of today. So what is it about stopping means for this?
Battling with Yourself
Stop is an action word that requires your full attention and deciding yourself to end up something.
I have an illustration in mind that I am holding a ball, dribbling it but then I dropped it down and stopped. Many years ago, I remember those times that I almost forgetten my dreams (to become a professional singer) I got traumatized by my bad experience in auditions and ending myself being contented watching someone's dream came true. Yes, I admit that I've lost the burning desire on singing.
For so long, I realize that I have wasted many years not practicing my skills and conquering my fear in stages and in front of many people. At this point of my adolescence stage, I wander if I have to gave up on my goal and look for another path to take. These thoughts are all negative and as a person who always think this is not a healthy way for me to stay in.
When and what would be a reason for you if you needed to stop anything?
STOP( if you keep on doing the same thing without receiving any positive result in your work.)
Make a list of your own criteria. You've done your best but your best wasn't good enough. You tried so hard but you just receive hates and dislikes. Even your closest friends and relatives didn't give you a positive thoughts about your work.
Self-denial can lead you to Misleading
Humans created with a sense of guilt. Our inner self can be our great teacher in times of trials. Self denial is a common practice to reverse and give another look of the negative outcome of your work. Sometimes we need to listen to our gut feeling and listen to our families and friends. Take honest opinion from them and enlighten your mind.
Switching from negative vibes and look for the positive one
Though you may think that you're not good anymore, I do believe that once a door was close, there is another door to be open. Opportunity is unlimited if we see the other things as your testing ground. Finding out another source of encouragement in life is a great way to deal with pain after giving up or deciding to stop. Try new things that makes you happy and enjoyable. Who knows this time was for you?!
In conclusion, accepting the reality and adapting to your current situation can lead you to perfection. If you know deep down in your soul that you haven't given your 100% effort on your dreams, go ahead and continue to do what you love.
At the end of the day, you're the one will decide if you will keep on doing what you love or tried to look another ways to become more productive and unleashing your full potential. Better to have another plan of your first plan fails.
We will learn in every failure and the experiences we face everyday so keep in mind not to lose Faith, Hope and Love!
