One friend of mine who was once in the army told me that during the training of marines, there is a phrase that is called Ringing the bell.
This phrase means in simple terms giving up on a certain activity. When you ring the bell, you have given up and when you do not ring the bell then you are still in the game. The training in the army is hard, it tests persistence, perseverance and mental stamina.
When you are in a situation where you would like to quit or not then you are at the verge of ringing the bell. When you are doing bad in life, will you ring the bell or not? Ringing the bell will kick start something new in your life.
When you have a boss who shouts at you each and everyday, you can decide to ring the bell and quit. Then you can start your own business.
When your relationship is becoming toxic, will you ring the bell or not? If you are going through tough times you can be forced to ring the bell. In my own life, i have had situations where i rang the bell and moved on.
When started blogging, there were times i felt like ringing the bell, iam yet to ring the bell simply because i love blogging and i have kept going.
I started writing my first novel and rang the bell on it back in the year 2011. Iam back again to the process of writing a novel and this time iam not willing to ring the bell, i will keep going.
When it's tough, will you ring the bell or not? That's up to you.
