Giving up

When do you give up?

- When you’re giving more than you’re getting back?

- When the pain and the effort become too much to bare?

- When nothing you do seems to be having any beneficial results?

None of all that…

Sometimes you have to give up when everything is going well, when you’re rewarded, when you’re at your highest peak.

External indications (those we have been taught to pay attention to as “proof”) can be the sirens pulling you away from your larger than life Self’s purpose.

Yet, if you mistaken your Self with your selfie, you’re doomed either way…

Whether you make it or not.

Whether you give up or not.

Whether you succeed or fail.

And sometimes you have to persevere, when everything is lost.

When there are no indications save that subtle, soft, inner voice, that you're on your right path.

When you've lost everything dear to you.

When no one notices you as they all pass by, as they do a random tree in a busy city.

When the only thing guiding you is your vision that won't go away or diminish no matter what.

When aches and pains won't stop you from getting up each morning and starting all over again. 

No matter what you do, whether you give up or not, purpose and meaning lie beyond these opposing temptations. 

And honesty with your Self, remains the hardest pursuit...
