Reason #1 Because Results take time

When your trying over and over and see no results, it can be heartbreaking and you immediately think of quitting. You ask yourself what's the point? But if we pause and look at history and analyze successful people, great things take time. I was researching for my company and after months of getting nowhere, the thought of quitting did cross my mind. But I didn't quit, so don't quit and persevere. We all think success is created overnight but its usually not the case.

Reason#2 Only through setbacks can you find new answers

I've made many mistakes and will continue to do so. But I decided to take these mistakes and setbacks and learn from them. Making my future steps that much better and smarter ultimately finding new ways of doing things. Turn your negatives into positives.

Reason #3 Setbacks push you in a different direction

How many times have we all thought we knew all the answers. But I truly now believe looking in hindsight that setbacks push you in a direction to reach your goals. When pursuing my cosmetics line/blog Varenti Beauty I knew what I wanted it to be. A blog that inspires you from within because feeling good starts from within. I also wanted it to help people improve their makeup skills through tips. Every setback has brought me a little closer to today.

Reason #4 You'll never reach your destination if you stop

If you quit every time something is hard or you don't see results immediate it doesn't mean your not good enough, it just means you need more practice, great things in life take time. In the end, whether you win or lose, wasn’t it worth doing anyway?
