Free Printable: Don’t Give Up

Pumpkins, and turkeys, and Christmas trees, oh my! I’ve been busy in the workshop working on all the (holiday) things. I adore working on the blog and learning, making, and sharing things, and then doing all of those things some more. But even with this passion for creating, things still get rough and I want to give up. A lot. Throw in the towel. Just quit. Be done with the whole thing. Here’s where this printable will come in handy for me, and I hope it will for you, too. I need to see it, even when I’m having a good day, to say, hell no, I am NOT giving up!!

Why do we want to give up? What makes us feel as though we’re not good enough, we’re not making progress, we’re stuck in a rut, we’re not successful, and that we’re utterly failing?

What Matters Most

Here’s what matters: I give a damn. YOU give a damn. If you love what you’re doing and you get satisfaction and joy from it, even if it’s miniscule sometimes, then keep going. No job, no passion, no project is perfect. And chances are, you’re making progress in some way every single day. Compare the you today versus the you one, six, twelve months ago. WHOA. Pretty big difference, right? I’m betting it’s gigantic. For me, the things I learn in a single week are pretty amazing.

Free Printable: Don't Give Up by Gold Standard Workshop I hope this printable offers you a little encouragement. Print it now, especially if you’re having a good day—because that self-doubt and those crappy days will come along when you least expect it and sucker punch you in the face.

Hey, and if those self-doubt demons creep up on a regular basis, you might want my Be Kind to Yourself printable too. It’ll help, too. xo
