Never, ever give up

Fail, crisis, pain, age, distance ... nobody understands why you do it, only but you. You had this dream and you follow this dream in this life. You have only this life. So never give up to realize your dream. You are never too old.

"To be is to do."
Socrates

Never, ever give up | Diana Nyad

My advice: Don't let your struggle become your identity. Sometimes there are more than one path to self-fulness.
