I Won't Give Up

Chapter 1: Cycles

Cycles are hard to break. Some take the form of addiction and some are habits. Cycles can be biological recurrences, scientific laws, and the strangest of events. It can trickle down like water that is sucked through a tube back to the top of the synthetic water fountian you were once gifted or bought at a craft store. Some argue that the only way to break a cycle is to cut it's power, take it's strength, or sufficate it. That the only way to start a new cycle is to breath. Simply being alive breads new cycles based on your impact on the world. Others say that we can not make nor destroy cycles for they are beyond us. I'd say that both Newton and God would agree. Either way cycles, paterns, habits, addictions, love, biology, all of it bounds us to the material world. Our hopes, dreams, aspiriations come from our enviorment. The cycles of which brought us from before conception to now all keeping us alive at this exact instant. Cycles can either make or break us but all cycles make us who we are. I don't know how deeply imbeded cycles are implanted in us through our DNA and our childhood but what I do know is that I will not stop until success is my new cycle. Now you may be thinking that success can't be a cycle, and you may be right. Success is made out of hundreds of tiny positive cycles that once put together create success. Of which then itself becomes a rotation. Now success is a loose term and depending on what your tiny cylces are they can decide what your kind of success is. Whether it's getting healthy, becoming wealthy, or being the best at your craft. Success is predicted by the tiny cycles of work, attitude, devotion, optimism, courage, compassion, and ingenuity. The ability to create cycles of such atributes creates the kind of person who generates success. It is easy to look at what you have to do but it is so much harder to actually do it. To create good habits instead of self destructing ones and to look failure in the face and choose to get up and be even more amazing is harder than recovering from your greatest hardship. It's okay to have set backs as long as you recognize that this is fuel for acomplishment. The habit of persevearance is so instumental in creating a cycle of achievement, and the only way to create such cycle is to fail.
