Ep #210. When should you give up?

from The Charles Kovess Show

In this week’s episode, I explore the critical question: should you give up when faced with challenges, or persevere despite the odds? I share several examples to illustrate the power of perseverance. Barbra Streisand’s story from her autobiography is inspiring—her relentless pursuit of a singing and acting career despite immense obstacles is a testament to passion. I also highlight the struggles of Olympians and Paralympians, many of whom endure years of hardship with no certainty of success. A young gymnast I know, and a footballer who faced a sudden end to his dream, both demonstrate the fragile balance between striving and setbacks. Then, I delve into my ongoing fight for freedom, health, and the proper application of law. With powerful organisations like governments, Big Pharma, and the media aligned against us, the battle is tough. Yet, I remain committed to pushing back against these forces. Finally, I touch on my 12-year journey in the industrial hemp industry. Despite the challenges, I’m convinced that hemp can revolutionise agriculture and help preserve freedom by empowering the families who own and run small farms. Passion is what fuels perseverance, and if you’re truly passionate, giving up isn’t an option. Keep pursuing your dreams—it's the journey that counts, even if you ultimately never attain your dreams, goals or desires.
