When to give up?

When do you know when to 'give up' on a situation? I heard about a woman who sold an article to sport stores. She asked 50 stores and they told her no, before she finally got a yes from nr 51.

Weren't all those 'no's a sign from her Higher Self (maybe) that she should try something new? Or was it a test for her that she should never give up?

That 'never give up' statement, does that work for everything, like love? If everything is possible, I should be able to get anyone to love me if I never give up. If it's the best choice for me that's another thing. If I want it, I should be able to. Isn't that a Freedom of Choice?

You can do and think whatever you choose. And SO can EVERYONE ELSE.

You are free to choose whether you want to "give up" something or not.

The difficulty arises when you try to influence the Freedom of Choice of OTHER people. You CAN choose to love someone forever, manifest your love for them to know about it etc.. but you cannot make choices for other people. It is THEIR Freedom of Choice and you should respect it.

How do you know if it's best to give up or not?

For example, a friend of mine is borrowing money to buy a shop. The bank said 'yes' until they found out that the value of the store was lower than they expected. Suddenly they said no and now she's wondering if that's a sign that she should drop everything or try another bank, and follow the 'never give up' way.

It's those situations, when you're not sure if things that happen are imposed as a test or caused by your own choices.. I feel they are the most difficult things to face. It's just a choice (yes or no) and still it's so difficult.

Making conscious choices is always difficult. Playing a lottery is much easier... Perhaps the best thing is to sincerely analyse your own MOTIVES. If your motives are REALLY sincere and compatible with The Purpose of the entire Universe - you should insist on your choices.

The twist is that when you insist on your choices, other people may CHOOSE to ridicule or even eliminate you. There are many examples of this in our history (Moses, Jesus, Martin Luther King, Ghandi...)
