Let me start by asking a question....
"how many times you think you have a very good plan that can lead you to success but you ends up failing due to BAD INSTINCT?"

There is one instinct to be wary of—one that you must fight.
This one is a liar.
This one is a saboteur—a backbiter.
And—like the devil himself—he’s a shape-shifter …
He will disguise himself … make you think that he has got your best interests in mind. But he doesn’t.
This is the instinct that says:
"YOU’VE HAD ENOUGH".
You’ve given it your best shot.
You can stand down.
You can back off.
You can take a knee.
This is the instinct that says: You can rest now.
Do not listen to that instinct
DO NOT LISTEN.
Because that instinct is a liar and wants to bring you down.
You see, this instinct is a defense mechanism for your ego.
It gives you an out—a place to run to.
A place of sympathy and amnesty, where all can be forgiven.
Where failures gather together in comfort and drown their sorrows in lies and deception.
They tell each other—and they tell you:

You did the best
you could…” and “The deck was stacked against you…” and
“It’s not your fault…”
And so they tell you: It’s okay to stop—it’s okay to settle.
IT’S OKAY TO GIVE UP

And that is the instinct you need to fight.
"To push back—
to smash into the ground".
DO NOT TAKE THE EASY WAY OUT.

Do not give up based on instinct. If you are forced to stand down—to retreat so that you can rebuild and re-attack—so be it. But make that decision based on logic—not on the instinct of surrender and defeat.
Destroy that instinct.
Replace it with the instinct that says:
GET UP. GO. FIGHT ON.
Make that your fundamental reaction to adversity—"MAKE THAT
YOUR GUT INSTINCT"—
and you will overcome anything that stands in your path.
