There is a saying “Don’t quit before the miracle happens.” This is so true. Some people throw in the towel, forfeit, and give up just when the miracle is not so far away. Quitting destroys those chances of grasping that miracle. You do not want to end up with “What if I could have done it?”… Do you?

Let’s be real … nobody says life is easy. You and I both know that can be pretty tough; but life has to have balance. We need a little bit of challenge to help us become stronger, overcome obstacles and adversity, so we can improve and evolve as human beings. Without challenges, life can be boring and average.

You have to surpass that average and challenge yourself to do great things. Even if you are going through the worst, you have to keep going. That is the measure of a person’s strength.

So, what am I talking about? Let’s not forget February 5th, 2017. The New England Patriots were down 28-3 against the Atlanta Falcons in the second quarter of the Super bowl. Did they quit? Did they say we have no chance? Did they put in less effort?

The answer to those questions was NO! They believed that they still had 2 more quarters to go and that miracles are possible.

So, what did TOM BRADY and his team do? They scored 31 points from the 3rd quarter all the way through overtime to win the Super bowl 34-28, making it the greatest comeback in football history and Tom Brady’s amazing and remarkable career. For me, this is by far one of the greatest examples to NEVER QUIT.

“I think sometimes in life the biggest challenges end up being the best thing that happen in your life.”

— Tom Brady

When you don’t quit, your chances of winning and achieving anything you want are greater than if you just walk away. When you start something, plan to finish it, even if you just started. Reward yourself for any accomplishments. If you are in the middle of it all, just know that you’re doing great and you’re half way there. You are in the zone and you are not too far away now.

Being known as person who never stops trying says a lot about you. It is an admirable and courageous trait to have. Every step is like earning a badge. Every journey is a testament to your potential and the great talents that you possess.

Just because sometimes you don’t see the reward, does not mean it doesn’t exist or can’t come to fruition. Of course it does and of course it can. If you are feeling tired, take a break. Do some meditation, read an inspirational book, do a hobby you enjoy, or yoga to ease your tension. Now get back in the game and continue. Just like Brady did.

I believe you are unbeatable and I am telling you from personal experiences, the stronger you become the more you will be able to adapt to the pressure and struggle you face.

If life gets tough on me, I look at my great heroes like John Cena. A man who has overcome so much adversity, and yet he rose above, never quit, and never stopped being himself. That is my motivation to succeed in anything I do and that is why I never quit. I crave challenges and I love working hard. My competition is myself and becoming my best by the day.

There is a reason you started on this journey. So, don’t quit. Do not listen to the naysayers who say it can’t be done. Anything is possible if you believe in yourself. If you feel you can do the impossible, then do it. Accept the challenge and do it.

Anything that is valuable to you must be earned. Being tenacious and having perseverance is always better than talent. Talent has its advantages, but talent alone can’t reach you very far without the dedication and drive that come with it.

Remember this, the greater and harder your challenge is, the greater your victory will be. In the end, there is a lot of pride that comes with it knowing that you actually went through it and you made it. Wow! What a great feeling that feels like just thinking about it.

So, my dear friend, are you ready for this battle? The world is full of challenges and I know you are ready … DON’T YOU QUIT.

Sincerely, Danny Gautama
