Have you ever given up on something because it's just not going to happen? Have rejections, rejections and rejections disappointed you that you want to give up? But after working so much for something are worried that it may be right to try more? This is a problem most of us face one time in life.
How do you know when you should just give up? When does the point come where you need to let it go? Or should you keep trying till eternity? It is smart thing to give up, if you really have to. It takes courage to give up. It takes intelligence to see. But talking of relationships, it is not easy, when you have formed strong ties. Are we living a lie? This is a question we need to answer in yes when we give up.
There are many arguments for not giving up on something. Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance received 60 rejections before getting published and selling millions of copies and being translated into many languages. Some other bestsellers have likewise collected many, many rejections before being a success. J.K. Rowling was rejected when she first sent out Harry Potter, and she is now the wealthiest woman in the U.K. Colonel Sanders was rejected 1,000 times before someone took a chance on his chicken recipe. Richard Bach was rejected numerous times when he tried to get Jonathan Livingston Seagull published. And, Abraham Lincoln's bio--he lost or failed at just about everything and still became on of our most beloved and admired Presidents.
So the idea cuts both ways. What to do in case you want to break up, leave a job, stop trying on a business and so on? Think logically.
Before you attempt something, set a time frame. If you do not succeed by that time you would give up.
In relationships, set a pain benchmark. If the relationship exceeds that pain give up.
It is not true that trying again and again will bring success. But trying differently may do that. Try the problem differently. If it works Ok, or give up after set number of attempts. No use living a lie.
