Keep tryin’ (Part 2)

For whatever reason there are some people in life that we feel the need to give up on; we may feel that it has reached the point in which we just have to admit that we’ve given them too many chances, they’ve blown it and now it’s time to throw in the towel. It would be wrong for me to tell you that you should not give up on these types of people, but I think it’s wise to take some time out to sit down and reflect on how much you’ll be giving up and the difference these people could make in your life if you keep them around.

I think sometimes because of the high expectations we hold in our minds or heart of our close ones we forget that despite how well we think we know them they’re still unpredictable . Even though, we feel it should be simple for them to do what we feel is the right thing it may not be as easy for them as we would like to think; the important thing to acknowledge sometimes is the courageous effort they put into continually trying. A lot of times we fail to take heed of the degree of goodness these types of people emit in our lives due to the bad things they’ve done outweighing the good.

I understand that sometimes giving up may seem like the only thing to do if there’s any hope of helping both you and this person but I’m just saying make sure when your giving up you can wholeheartedly say you’ve tried to help this person as much as you could because they might feel that if you give up on them then they should give up on themself as well.  Maybe it’s time to start motivating people more, let them know that some form of change or progress has to  manifest for you to keep trying, let them know that you only want the best for them and that as long as they evidently keep trying you’ll do the same.

 

“Expect people to be better than they are; it helps them to become better. But don’t be disappointed when they are not; it helps them to keep trying” – Merry Browne.
