Do we stop living when we stop progressing?

No, the answer to the question is no. Follow me through this post to find out why?

Progress is the growth or development of something. The fact of succeeding in that specific thing you are personally doing is called progressing. As humans, we have many aspects of our lives we want to always see growing like finances, relationships, education, society reputation, and so on. This gives us satisfaction and appreciation of our lives. And to some people, measure their happiness or worth depending on the amount or number of achievements gained.

But that is wrong, I am not here to impose my beliefs and norms onto you but I would love to share and show you if possible that even in troubles, there is an achievement and something to be grateful for. One day I had a conversation with an aunt of mine. She was narrating how she had lost her second son at birth and how it was hurting. But then she said, “I thank God for allowing me to go through this”. I was amazed by her statement, “Why?” I asked. “Because it is through this situation and hard times that I have learned who truly loves and cares for me”, she replied.

It was at that time that I got to know we always have something to be appreciative of in every situation, that is if we look carefully and understand the reasons for those times instead of judging the times and concluding that they are as bad and even putting a pause on our lives.

When your business is crushing and feels like giving up, please don’t because…
