Keep Trying

Whenever I start losing hope, I always lean on these two words: ‘Keep trying’.

In most cases, the youth always needs someone to push them, encourage them or give them the motivation not to give up. I understand that nothing comes easy and that every success requires a strong person.

Someone who does not give up, someone who fails but still keeps pushing. Most of us are not born with a silver spoon in our mouths, therefore, we really need to work hard to achieve a brighter future.

Trying is a blessing, so we all need to try hard in order to gain lots of blessings. Through the process of failing and trying is how we become more blessed. Nothing happens in the blink of an eye, you wouldn’t just be dreaming of becoming an engineer and suddenly you are already an engineer.

It will require a lot of effort and commitment. You will need to go to varsity first, overcome all the temptations that you are going to find there, focus, and study hard through sleepless nights in order for your dreams to become a reality.

Nothing is supposed to be easy.

Life is quite simple. Its simplicity is not in seeing how little you can get but how efficiently you conquer your biggest fears. You may fail a thousand times but that creates a natural balance.

Remember, whatever happens in your life happens for a reason and that is how we learn. We are all supposed to learn from our mistakes. Nothing happens to hurt us and keep us weak forever. Have energy to get up and learn from your mistakes and live for what is right.

What does not kill you only makes you stronger, therefore live a stronger life to achieve your dreams and fight until your last breath.
