You should never give up! Or should you? Can giving up possibly be a good thing for your life? Most people would say 'no ' without question, but the truth about giving up may surprise you.
Don 't Give Up On Life!
When I say 'giving up ', I 'm not talking about giving up on your dreams and goals. You probably know many people who have done that already, and if you watch them, their life is not something you want to take on for yourself.
People who give up on life have very little to live for. They have no purpose or direction. They live day by day in a world that is predetermined for them thanks to their lack of caring, and that keeps them on a path where things never work out quite right.
So what should you give up on?

Instead, step into other people 's shoes and see life through their eyes. When you do, you will find a whole new world opens up to you, and it is full of love and celebration.
For instance, recently a young boy died. He was part of a YouTube family, called the Bratayley 's, who shared their life online for the past few years. The parents made a choice to livestream his memorial, and many people were quick to judge the mother for taking advantage of her son 's death.
Her intention was to help the fans get closure and to celebrate her son 's life, not to make money off his death; yet, so many people pointed an ugly finger towards her based on their judgment. This caused controversy, hurt feelings, anger, and - in short, added a negative energy to many people 's lives during an already negative time.
By standing in her shoes, it was apparent that her gesture was to help others cope and celebrate her young son 's life. It was a good and loving thing to do that had the potential to help others. I know that not judging the mother for her decision helped me to feel better about the situation and move on with love and compassion instead of anger and

Give Up On Holding Grudges
When you hold grudges, you feel a sense of power. You feel better than the person who wronged you and you are quick to talk down about them and try to make them look like less than they are. You feel as though you are letting the world know that you deserve compassion and comfort for what happened to you. But, you also end up holding on to a lot of negative feelings and causing a lot of stress on your body!
Grudges are painful to maintain, and they don 't serve a positive purpose for your life. They don 't heal your wounds. They don 't help you feel better about life. They just eat away at your life until you feel horrible.
Maya Angelou, a woman who has inspired many people, including Oprah, to live a better life, said that the best piece of advice she ever received was to forgive. She said that it is a way to protect herself and take care of herself.
Of course, this doesn 't mean that you have to love everyone who has done you wrong, but it does mean that letting go of grudges and moving on with your life is the best way to live a life in the present where life serves you
Life as we all know is full of disappointment and filled with disparity. Most of us are able to go through these and learn from and forgive ourselves. Yet, this isn’t always the case. People are faced with traumatic experiences that often take a long time to get over, if they ever do get over it. These experiences brew in our brain popping up at the most random points often bringing our spirits down. Although these experiences may scar us and fill us with regret and guilt, we can’t continue to live in the past and let these regrets haunt us. Self forgiveness is a key to healing and to moving on in life, no matter how hard it is.
I think giving up on your dreams is like kind of giving yourself. When people lack of having control of their lives they endured by them imagine their dream and idealizing the outcome. They decided not to take action and make their dream come true. I thinks its like this because they could have insecurities and hope in the inner-selves. Some people have depression for not them following their dreams. Lose hope in themselves and makes not in themselves. This not beneficial because dreams are not becoming true and nobody want faith for themselves. They believe that it’s no point of having hope about their dreams if they think it’s not going to come true. I think if I can do so can others. They just have to the confident and potential as me, and whatever they want can come true. They also have to work hard and just give up it’s a obstacle
...e is easy. But this is not the reason why you should give up. Keep your hopes alive and you will be surprised of what you can accomplish if you can only set your mind to it. Because after all, you only live once, so why not try to make the most of it. Again, Sherman Alexie shows us in his book, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, how the entire Spokane Reservation is facing poverty but Arnold and Mary Spirit fight for a better life. He goes through all the problems the characters face in the book, and how some choose to live the horrible condition for the rest of their lives but some keep their hopes alive and try their best to break the cycle. Therefore, learn to never give up on your dreams and always hope. Hope make the present moment less difficult to bear. No matter how hard life can get, if you only hope that tomorrow will get better, than it will
It is important to Morrie that people should forgive themselves and others in order to move on with life. Holding onto grudges is not something Morrie believes in as he says, “Forgive yourself, forgive others. Not everyone is lucky” (Albom, 167). I agree that it is important to forgive others and that people should be able to forgive themselves. Being able to let go of a grudge against himself/herself or somebody else will allow them to move on or start new. Unlike some others, I tend to struggle with forgiving others and myself. A very close friend who was like my sister turned away from me last year and did something I thought was unforgivable. To this day I still find myself holding a grudge against her at times, but I learned how to forgive her so I can let go and be able to move on from
As I sit here thinking about was forgiveness means to me. I have come to realize that holding in hate is harmful and the outcome physically and mentally could cause undesirable effects. Although, the process of forgiveness can take many years and the process may start with you. The whole process shouldn’t be seen as an obligation, but a remedy to help with your recovery.
Forgiving someone is a way to release us from the pain they have brought us. Justice can just be
I’ve learned to never give up, even though everything in me tells me to throw in the towel. I am
The motivation and tendency of people to forgive others remains an important topic of discussion. In today’s society most people at some period have experienced feeling of un forgiveness towards friend, or relatives. “Forgiveness was defined as the ability to relinquish of resentment towards others” (Baskin & Enright, 2004, p. 80).
One negative effect of not showing forgiveness can lead to a decrease in one’s health by causing elevated stress levels, high blood pressure, depression, and psychological issues. It can also lead to mental congestion by blurring one’s thinking and focus because one’s mind can be preoccupied by the past events. Having a mind focused on the past can cause grudges, anger, and resentments, which greatly increases more problems in everyday life with others. Being unwilling to forgive can negatively affect people’s emotions in a drastic way. Negative emotions can tear families apart, friendships, and even lifelong relationships. Holding bitterness within can block positive emotions from others that are trying to help; it can overcome one’s entire life. It is no secret that an unforgiving spirit can poison one’s heart with bitterness. Without forgiveness and reconciliation there is no doubt that a fruitless relationship will persist until death. Not forgiving will cause nothing but pain and misery. It is evident that the negative effects of not having forgiveness will only lead to a life of bitterness and

It is one thing to let someone know that you messed up but complete healing comes from knowing that you are forgiven. Vice versa, instead of letting bitterness and anger towards others eat away at us, the best way to move on is to forgive. In some instances, our natural reaction is to exact revenge and that might provide temporary relief but it is a fact the forgiveness provides far greater healing and relief. The Sacrament of Reconciliation allows one to experience the fullness of forgiveness. This sacrament not only calls one to forgive others but to ask Christ for forgiveness, the most powerful forgiveness we can receive. It involves not only receiving the forgiveness but accepting it in our heart and allowing ourselves to be healed by the Holy

... it? Forgiveness is not easy for some to ask for or give. Some situations often make people feel or believe that forgiveness of wrongdoing acts are not worth giving or sometimes receiving. This belief is especially viewed if the wrongdoing is considered as evil. Indeed, experts say that forgiving those who have wronged us helps lower blood pressure, cholesterol, and heart rate. (Haupt 2012) Haupt mentions in her article, How to Forgive, And Why You Should, that Duke University researchers reported a strong link between forgiveness and strengthened immunity among HIV-positive patients. Haupt further states that benefits aren't just limited to the physical. Letting go of old grudges reduces levels of depression, anxiety, and anger. People who forgive tend to have better relationships, feel happier and more optimistic, and overall enjoy better psychological well-being.

If we are able to look back at those painful memories and doesn’t feet the pain anymore, then we know that we have truly forgiven, healed and made whole. We all need time to work through our pain and loss. Sometimes when we encounter changes, it is either we experience gain or loss. Furthermore, some offenses we encounter led to a sense of loss of trust, security, friendship, relationship and a whole lots more. We may also lose our direction and forget the purpose and meaning of life when inflicted with pain through an offense. Sometimes our most horrible and painful experiences can teach us life valuable lessons, making us more insightful and stronger individuals through them. Forgiveness is all about finding what was lost and restoring the wholeness that one once had. I have overcame feelings of loss, rejection, anxiety and rage, as well as personal and marital conflicts through
