It always seems impossible until it’s done; therefore, we talk about why one should never give up on their goal in this article. Many things were considered impossible ten years back, but with some people’s consistent efforts, those things are possible today.
Who would have thought we’ll have virtual assistants like Alexa, Instagram,4g internet speed, and OTT platforms like Netflix fifteen years ago? Many inventions and technological advancements were happening all the time, which wouldn’t have been possible if those innovators had quit at first failure.
With today’s fast-paced life and desire for quick results, people often lose patience and deem a task impossible because it’s taking time. But even impossible says I M POSSIBLE, and hence one must have the patience and courage to see the task to its end.
It Always Seems Impossible Until It’s Done – Why You Should Never Give Up
1. You May Not Know, but You Are Almost There
Maybe you need to push yourself for the last mile. Maybe you don’t see it right now, but you are close to reaching your goal. But if you give up now, all those efforts and time will go wasted even though you were so close to achieving your dream. It always seems impossible until it’s done, so never give up.
It may seem impossible right now, but Hey! It always seems impossible until it’s done. It took Martin Luther King decades to bring civil rights amendments finally. Steve Jobs was fired from Apple, the company he gave his everything to, but he didn’t stop pursuing his dream, worked hard, and soon came back and became Apple’s CEO.
2. Failure Is a Better Teacher
Even Mahatma Gandhi had to face several obstacles while uniting India, he was also jailed for a peaceful salt march, but that didn’t stop him. He came out of jail, organized civil disobedience movement, got the support of millions of Indians, and in 1947, India got independent. This is a perfect example of how it always seems impossible until it’s done and why you should never give up.
Failure is not final; it’s another step towards success. It teaches you what not to do, exposes faults in your plan so that it can be perfected, and you finally achieve your goal. It’s heartbreaking and discouraging, but life is not a bed of roses and remember the night is darkest just before the dawn.

3. Time and Effort Wasted
If you quite right now, all the efforts you put, all the energies that you dedicated to your project for such a long time would all be for nothing. You may feel like all the effort got wasted when you don’t see an immediate result, but that’s false.
If you keep going, learn from mistakes, and don’t give up eventually, all those efforts and time you put in your work will pay off. All you need to do is have patience, work harder, and you will achieve your dreams.
4. You’re Killing Your Dream
Remember how passionate you were when you started? Remember, what motivated you? Remember how much you believed in your dream that you risked a lot of things to pursue it.
You know how much accomplishing this task means to you, and therefore don’t give up on it and kill your dream just because now you lack motivation. Take a break if you need one, it may help you freshen your mind a bit but then get back and start again. Following your dreams and achieving goals has never been easy for anyone and it isn’t going be easy for you either, so buck up, get back to the stage and finish the act.
This is also the difference between ordinary and extraordinary people. Extraordinary people believe in their dreams enough to stay motivated throughout and achieve their goals. You get one life, be extraordinary, pursue your dreams, and never give up because it always seems impossible until it’s done!
5. If You Won’t Someone Else Will
If you won’t have faith in yourself and quit on your dreams, then know that maybe not now, but soon somebody else with stronger will would achieve what you have always dreamed of achieving, and then it’s going to hurt you worse than anything else ever have.
The fact that somebody else achieved what you have always dreamt of achieving will cause you so much pain and regret. Therefore, it’s wiser to hold on to your dream a little longer because it always seems impossible until it’s done. Don’t kill your dreams because you see no light at the end of the tunnel right now; sometimes, you have to be your own light in the darkness.
6. Technological Innovations and Advancements are Happening All the Time
People quit on their dreams because they don’t have the necessary tools or resources right now to make their dream project, or technology isn’t advanced enough to provide those tools.
The creation of the internet was important for so many latest techs, and for the internet, the invention of computers was important. Advancements happen all the time in existing models to create a better version of those models.
Even if this is the case, just sitting out and abandoning your dream is not an option. You can do two things, firstly create the tools that you need yourself. This may also help other people who need the same tools for their projects. Secondly, if possible, work extra hard, be creative and make do with what you have right now. But waiting and abandoning is not an option.
7. If You Won’t Believe in Yourself, No One Else Will
A fact indeed. In life, you’ll find more naysayers than supporters. Even people you don’t know properly are waiting to see you fail. Therefore, more often, you are your only confidante, your only supporter.
You must pick yourself back up every time you fall and start walking towards your goal again. You will find many other people who will try to hold you back, so don’t be one for yourself. Be your biggest admirer instead.
Know that others are trying to create hurdles because they don’t know anything better to do. More than you, it’s people around you who will explain why your dreams are impossible to achieve.
But you don’t have to give in to their negativity. You have to be your own knight in shining armor, your own hero. All these things may sound theoretically easy and practically impossible to achieve but remember, it’s impossible until it’s done.
