   006. I Almost Gave Up

   We all have a limited time on earth. We each have a vision of what we want and need. As we grow up from birth we are encouraged to get back up and start crawling again, get back up and start walking again, and then we progress to childhood where we are encouraged to keep going and don't give up. But, as we grow older into adults, we are often encouraged just to give it up because it isn't staying within the lines and it's getting outside the comfort zone. Well, I almost quit and the ones closest encouraged it while the ones who started as complete strangers encouraged me not to. I encourage you to realize where you are and where you want to be.
