We are all human. We have our own minds and our own hearts, so we have our own dreams too.

It is a tradition of our world that when we want something on our own terms, people laugh at us. They make our dreams look childish and impractical—their questions seed doubts in us. Sometimes situations get so hard that we feel like giving up. But wait, don’t give up! Trust me, these three words kept me alive in my worst moments.

Don’t give up means showing up again after failure. It means consistency in small things, even when we don’t feel like doing it. It is choosing discipline over mood and fighting inner battles of anxiety and procrastination. But some of us surrender to our problems. In those times, motivation is medicine.

Motivation is the energy that pushes us to act and achieve. It is the why behind what we do. It gives us direction, helps us endure. But to keep the energy alive, you need a clear vision of what you want and commit to it.

Abraham Lincoln says, “commitment is what transforms a promise into reality”.

So, don’t fear mistakes. A small mistake won’t ruin your future. If you want your dream to come true, ignore the noise and focus on your path. Live happily and do your best.
