These past few weeks a common conversation that I've had among my friends is, "I can't give up because...". Everyone has had so many different reasons. If you feel like your'e on the brink of giving up on everything, or maybe you feel like youre not worth it anymore, this is for you.

1.) To be successful.

In todays world it is hard to be successful without a lot of work, Whether it be college course work, your job, or your family life you have to put in the effort. Its all worth it in the end is what you'll always hear, and sometimes you begin to doubt that, but imagine your life without the thing your'e working towards. Is it as nice? Does it seem more stressful? If you answered yes to either of those you need to keep pushing through.

2.) To prove people wrong.

Some of you have people who have nothing good to say about you. Actually, probably all of you, including myself, have at least one person who is waiting to see your fail. I don't condone rubbing things in peoples faces, but it does seem like a nice idea. Always look for reasons to push yourself. Try to do better than someone else. GIve yourself a little motivation.

3.) To feel satisfied with yourself.

The best feeling in the world is when you've just completed something that you never thought you could do. For example, I feel satisfied after I finish my math for the week. Figure out short term goals and then complete them. All of them. If your long term goal is to graduate from college start out with a goal of finishing your first semester. If you really hate it, I'd suggest setting your goal as finishing the first month and working from there.

Don't let anyone's actions or words mess with your dreams and ambitions. They may put a small bump in your road but just floor it over them. Sometimes you can't look back and that is okay. Its your life and you have to do what you need to in order to be happy.
