  You're listening to 5-Minute Pocket Pep Talks, and this one's for you when your
• 0:05
  hope is fading, when everything feels so hard, and giving up seems like the only option.
• 0:11
  Let's take a deep breath together.
• 0:15
  You're not alone here. Today I want to talk to you about the moment that most
• 0:20
  people don't like to admit they have, and that's the moments when they feel like quitting.
• 0:26
  You feel like quitting on a goal, on a dream, on a relationship,
• 0:30
  and maybe even on yourself.
• 0:32
  You're tired, tired of trying, tired of trying and not seeing the results that
• 0:37
  you're expecting, tired of believing and still falling short,
• 0:40
  tired of pushing through and wondering if it even matters.
• 0:44
  If that's you today, I want you to hear me.
• 0:47
  This is not the end of your story. This is not the final chapter.
• 0:52
  This is not part of where you throw the towel and say, guess what?
• 0:56
  I wasn't meant for this. No, no, no, no, no, no.
• 0:58
  This is the part where you pause for a second, where you breathe,
• 1:04
  when you remember who you are and why you started in the first place.
• 1:10
  You see, we're thought to glorify beginnings and celebrate endings,
• 1:15
  but nobody talks about what's in the middle, that messy, uncertain space where
• 1:20
  nothing is guaranteed and everything feels impossible.
• 1:22
  But let me tell you something, that middle, that's where your character is being forged.
• 1:28
  And that middle is where you build endurance.
• 1:32
  Also, the middle is where most people quit and where those who don't rise.
• 1:39
  So if all you did today was not giving up, that's not weakness. That's resilience.
• 1:46
  You're allowed to rest, you know. You're allowed to feel frustrated too,
• 1:50
  and you're allowed to question everything.
• 1:52
  But please, please don't make a permanent decision based on a temporary emotion.
• 1:59
  Just like you don't do a grocery when you're starving.
• 2:02
  You've come too far, okay? and you haven't seen the best of what's possible for you yet.
• 2:10
  So instead of quitting, what if you just took one step back towards your own self?
• 2:15
  Not a big leap, not a perfect plan, just one breath, one act of self-respect,
• 2:22
  one decision to keep going imperfectly.
• 2:26
  You don't need to be on fire right now. You just need not to give up because your story isn't over.
• 2:32
  And often, right after a moment where you almost give up. It's the moment things start to shift.
• 2:39
  You are stronger than the pain. You are stronger than the noise.
• 2:43
  You're stronger than the fear that says that you can't do this.
• 2:47
  I believe that with my whole heart.
• 2:50
  So take this moment right now and let it reset you. Then pick your head up,
• 2:55
  take a deep breath and keep going.
• 2:58
  You've got more in you. You're allowed to have hard days.
• 3:01
  Just don't let them convince you to give up on a life you haven't fully lived yet. Okay?
• 3:08
  I'm with you. I'm proud of you. I'll see you in the next one.
