What to Do to Not Give Up, for Singapore: Failure Is Not Quitting

Grow or Die

William S. Burroughs said,

“When you stop growing you start dying.”

This is true in life, and in PTSD Recovery.

An essential aspect of recovery is movement–moving forward. Keep moving forward. Just don’t quit.

This doesn’t mean there won’t be failure. But there is a big difference between quitting and failure.

Quitting means you’re giving up, failure means you’re trying.

Quitting means no more forward motion…quitting means dying.

Try or die, friend…try or die.

I talk about what I did to help graduate beyond just being a ‘survivor’ of PTSD and trauma; what works; what doesn’t; what I screwed up. It’s my book, #dealwithit: Duct Tape for the Soul, about overcoming adversity and mental illness.
