What event of your life that you gave up and what did you do to overcome and stand again?

You will have to be more specific.

I have given up on a marriage, a religion and a bad career choice. All of these were well worth giving up (I was much happier without them).

I have persevered on friendships, getting an education, a better career choice and raising children. All of these were well worth the effort (they made me a much happier person).

I have been on and off with fitness goals and learning music.

Thanks for sharing Maxdancona. Through you post, all the more, I have learned that there are things we really need to give up but eventually will open another doorway for us to be happier and have a better life. Giving up is hard but sometimes, it is the best choice we need to make
