How To Keep Moving Forward When You Feel Like Giving Up
Have you ever felt like giving up on your dream? The biggest reason people fail to achieve their goals is that they simply give up. If you've got a big, ambitious goal like becoming a successful full-time musician, you've probably been tempted to give up on your dream numerous times. The bigger your dream, the bigger the risk of you wanting to give up on it. Why is that? And what do you do about it?
How To Overcome Your Fear Of Failure
We've been conditioned that failure is bad. We don't take risks for fear of failure. We think that failure is final and it means the end of our dreams. If we try something and we don't get the result we want, we think it means something deeper about us, that we're inadequate or inferior in some way, that there's something wrong with us. This over-identification with failure can totally immobilise us.
The Missing Piece Of The Puzzle
You want to make a living from your music. But being a musician, being an artist, is not just a job for you and me. It's a calling. It's our mission. It's our life's purpose. It's the thing that lights us up the most. And it's soul-crushing when we don't get to do that. If you've been doing music for a while but you still haven't been able to make a full-time living from it, you can get discouraged.
Perseverance Is The Price Of Success
By the middle of February, 80% of New Year's resolutions have failed. So the overwhelming majority of people, if they even had a resolution, a goal, or a dream for their life this year, have given up on it already. If you're feeling discouraged and thinking about quitting because you feel like you're not making progress or you haven't achieved anything, I want to encourage you to keep going. Because you have achieved something.
