Whenever I'm asked what is the biggest secret of all (out of the

77) I always say that there are two. One, "the think you can"

secret will get you started. "The never give up" secret will keep

you going. Through thick and thin. Put these two secrets together

and the impossible not only becomes possible, it becomes PROBABLE

that you will achieve whatever you THINK YOU CAN. Whatever you set

out to achieve. Yes, there is real and magnificent power here. Yes, a life in abundance awaits those who are determined.

When you are chasing your dreams, or trying to achieve something

very difficult, even attempting to do what no one else has done

before, then of course,  you will encounter obstacles. Things in the

road. Sometimes they are abundance  bloody big boulders. Immovable objects

that will not budge. Well, here's the trick: Go around them, over

them, under them, through them. Find a way. Do not let a little

pebble get in your way. Never, ever give up. You can do this. At

the start you thought you COULD. What is different now?

If you think you can, you can.

Now, one word of warning. You can choose the wrong mountain. Yes,

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but sometimes in life, you

can choose the wrong challenge to climb. If this is the case, then

if you 'never, ever give up' then ultimately, you will find that,

in the end, you have succeeded in climbing 'your mountain', only to

find that once you get to the top, it's the wrong view, it's the

wrong hill and the one you should have climbed is over there in the

distance.

Now, this is a hard one to call. Because when you're faced with a

massive challenge and you're faced with the inevitable question:

"Shall I give up?" then you need to decide, whether you are

climbing the right mountain. Are you on the right track? Only you

will know.

By the way, if you are climbing the wrong mountain (or sailing the

wrong ocean) then you are NOT giving up, you are just adjusting your

sails to choose a new direction. There is a subtle difference

between determination, stubbornness and just plain wrong. But once

you know for certain that you are on the right path, then 'Never,

ever give up', find a way, no matter how long it takes.
