“Pain is temporary. Quitting lasts forever”.
Build character, when you give up you aren’t just giving up right now. You’re giving up for all situations that gets that tough in the future.
I used to see it as just another variation of pain is temporary but victory lasts forever, but now I see it’s portraying a completely different message to it. It’s about the two different mentalities you can have in life. You can either be a quitter or getter. The problem with being a quitter is that it becomes a habit. You will always start to quit when it gets hard to that point, and you wouldn’t able to push yourself any further. Meaning, you won’t be able to evolve as a person. When you quit, the exact same pain doesn’t ever go away. It remains there until the next time you have to face it. The exact same pain that’s temporary becomes permanent as long as you keep quitting. So the next time you think about quitting think about what you’re projecting to the universe.
