April is here again and it’s time for this year’s A to Z Challenge. This year, my theme is motivational quotes. Each 
Monday to Saturday throughout April I will be posting a motivational quote each day starting with the letters A through to Z.
It’s traditional through the challenge to keep posts short and sweet, so that’s what I’ll be doing. Just a quick explanation of why I chose each quote and what it means to me.
Day 4 – D
“Don’t quit. Suffer now to live the rest of your life as a champion”
This one definitely speaks to me as a writer, but I think it could fit equally well with pretty much anything you want to achieve.
You start out at the bottom, clawing your way up as you go. Rejections, mistakes, failures – they all add up. It can be easy to get to the point where you wonder if it’s all worth it. The point where quitting seems to be the only option.
No matter how tough it gets, quitting is never the only option. Striving forwards is always an option. yes, it will be tough, but it will also be worth it.
You could quit now, and find something easier to do – and then spend every day for the rest of your life doing the easy thing that brings you no joy. Or you could do what the quotes says. Push forward now – face the hardship – and then live the rest of your life knowing that you made it.
Do you ever feel like quitting on your dream? How do you push through those feelings? Let me know in the comments 🙂
Don’t forget to check back every Monday to Saturday to see the next motivational quote!

Oh yes, never ever give up. A winner is someone who gets up one more time than he is knocked down.
I think our world teaches us to take the easy route and if it’s too hard, give up and move onto the next thing. We miss so much if we don’t step up to challenges and tough times don’t we?

I especially liked this quote that you shared: “No matter how tough it gets, quitting is never the only option. Striving forwards is always an option. yes, it will be tough, but it will also be worth it.” This is so true – whether it is school, work, relationships, or other aspect of one’s personal life.
Thank you 🙂
Very true. Our History Sir used to say the same.
Let’s never quit.
My C word was Champion 🙂 May we all be champions!
Agree with that for sure!
True. Winners don’t quit to find easier things to do. They may move on to bigger challenges.
By the way, your floating share widget hides your text on desktops. You might want to leave a margin around your content area. Or move the widget to the right side of the page.

Happy blogging!

I totally agree 🙂
I have checked on numerous desktops and rechecked the coding and I think this issue must be at your end as the margins are all good everywhere I’ve checked – thanks for the head’s up though!
Great quote. Never give up.

Perseverance is a golden quality.Your post today makes that pount very clear. #AtoZchallnege
Thank you 🙂
That was one powerful quote. True that we must never give up. Great post
Thank you 🙂
Quitting is easy. Its holding on when going gets tough that needs courage. I so love that quote. How true that putting effort today can result in a beautiful tomorrow 🙂
Thank you 🙂 I think it’s that hope that keeps us pushing forward
So true. It’s easy to quit but difficult to persevere. The reward is great however.
Its definitely hard, but it’ll be worth it in the end!
Such a meaningful quote- suuffer now to cherish later! Irony (if I may say) of life!

Haha I guess it is!
Quitting is the easy way out. To quit is to give up on a dream or something they want. They will regret it in the long run. Quitters never win and winners never quit.
Totally agree! If you want something badly enough, you don’t quit until you have it!
This would have worked better for me as I advanced in my IT career. Now retired, I tend to let things go at times…and that’s okay. LOL!

Sounds like it all worked out great for you 🙂
I need to prepare for an exam and this quote suits just fine to the situation! I don’t know when will my inner bells start ringing and I’ll get back to studies!
Cheers
Good look with the exam!
I agree quitting isn’t an option! and how we truly find out more about ourselves as we push through……Heidi visiting from the A to Z Challenge at, Decibel Memos (Perspectives absent of sound)
I agree. I’d give up chocolate but I’m not a quitter… 😉

This quote is very much my life. Not that long ago, hubby and I were really struggling to make ends meet. Then we moved and got better paying jobs and things turned around. I always felt like we had to struggle through that time to get to where we are now.

I’m really glad you got through it. I think the hard times make us appreciate the good times more
never!!! loved this!! thank you for sharing!
Thank you 🙂
Such a universal quote. It is easily applied to any facet of our lives.
Jessica @ Simply Infatuated
Thank you 🙂 It really is applicable to many situations!
I’ve threatened to quit many times, but I don’t think I ever believed myself. 🙂
One thing that really helped me in this regard was going through fight camp. When you get beaten down over and over, and keep having to get back up and go in the ring again, it teaches you something about resilience. It teaches you about heart. There were many days I wanted to give up, but it wasn’t an option. And to this day, that accomplishment is one of the things I’m most proud of.
I think we’ve all felt like quitting at times, but those of us who want something badly enough don’t actually go through with it.
Fight camp sounds extremely painful but also like one hell of an experience. And I think it would definitely teach resilience!
Very true!
This is so true for me at the moment, sometimes life does just drag you down but we must fight on 🙂
We sure do!
Good quote for a Monday morning. I love this series. It always reminds you of what you can do. Happy Monday to you!
Thank you 🙂
I love this! This is the perfect quote for my husband, who as well as being in the forces, also cycles at a professional level. #anythinggoes
Needing to see some inspirational quotes lately! I’ve been blogging on and off for a while but solidly for a year and feel I’m not getting anywhere! But I shall stick with it!
#anythinggoes
You’ll get there – it just takes time to get going sometimes 🙂
Perfect!!! I just wrote a blog about my experience in quitting smoking…I could have used this one.
Thank you 🙂 Sorry its too late for you!
Another good one! Something else I have to remember when things get tough.
#anythinggoes
Love it. The journey is part of the winning too <3
