The Story of how Giving In was produced by Adema

'Giving in' is the first single by the rock band Adema from their self titled debut album 'Adema'. It was released on 8th June 2001. This is the song that garnered a lot of attention to the band and brought them at the spotlight. The band went on to release more prominent hits like 'The Way You Like It', 'Unstable' etc. In this article we'll talk about Giving In Song Review. Giving In Song Review and Explanation The song is about giving in to bad habits like drinking and perhaps drugs and how bad it affects one's life. Mark is said to have written this song and it is about his experiences with addictions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTOKnYNI3tU He talks about loosing friends while family trying to heal him from his addictions. He is narrating how bad the effect of his addictions has been on his life. He ends up being alone and can't think of anything but to give in to his personal demons. According to a source, the band was asked about the song in an interview- That was actually the first song that all five of us wrote together. The riff came out of just jamming, and nothing more. We wrote the song pretty fast as far as the music went, like maybe an hour. And we pretty much jammed it just the way you hear it now, which is pretty crazy. Mark wrote the lyrics while we were up in the mountains, like we talked about, and there was nothing to do. We were all taking pills and drinking everyday. So, it's about giving in to excess more than anything else. But, he left it open-ended so it could be about any kind of…any kind of hopelessness really; anything negative; just giving into that. Adema on their hit song 'Giving In' Mark Chavez evidently wrote the song based on his life experiences. Mark has had a tumultous relationship with the band. He left the band in 2004 due to certain differences in the group. According to Ryan Shuck, there have been multiple times where in Mark has asked to join the band and then ends up leaving in the middle without valid reasons. He has pulled out of the band during tours which has costed the band. So, Mark has not had his stuff in place according to Ryan Shuck which seems like it is true. He could be dealing with personal problems or perhaps the same bad habits that he seemed to be fighting years back. Read the full article

The Echoes of Service

The Reflective Nature of GivingIn a world overwhelmingly focused on personal gain and self-promotion, the emphasis on service to others often gets sidelined, taken for granted or worse, perceived as a weakness. Yet, there lies an intrinsic truth waiting to be uncovered – a service we provide for others reverberates back, serving us in a myriad of unexpected ways.Engaging in acts of service paves…

Giving in repeatedly, not speaking our truth, means that we don’t feel safe enough to be vulnerable. The result is the building up of shame (what’s wrong with me) and resentment (what’s wrong with them). We get stuck in these thought loops and can’t get out of them until we lower our baseline, our stress level so that we can see a bigger picture. Sometimes we need support to do so. #givingin #passive #weak #fear #afraid https://www.instagram.com/p/CO3tS7OsH1-/?igshid=1j6pgkpimmwd4

The Path Of Healing...

Too much happening up above

Too little happening below

Decisions inching closer

Ones breath cannot keep up

Look straight out to where the soul cannot help but be tickled

The path of healing instead of giving in…⚡️

GIVING UP - GIVING IN ?

JOHN MCINTOSH

When one’s unique dream-world-narrative offers extreme challenges, the tendency is to ‘give-up’. This leads to ‘running, sedating and distracting’ … and even ending one’s body instrument. However, the conditioning that brought about that so-called ‘incarnation’ experience is still present and will ‘reassert’ its influence in so-called ‘future’ incarnations.

If however, these same challenges touch one who is ‘ready’ to ‘give-in’, then the ‘escape’ tendencies are not chosen and ‘surrender’ occurs. This is the intent of ALL suffering – to bring one to their knees, which allows the SELF to orchestrate the events that will ‘Awaken’ ITs slumbering counterpart [imprisoned as IT is beneath the veneer of the false-self-body-mind-identity].

The so-called Awakening is NOT an ‘ascension’ as many spiritual traditions speak of, which suggests a ‘process’ of ‘growth’ is taking place [thereby validating the illusion of separation]. It is a ‘revealing’ of what ‘is’ and ‘has always been’ ever-Present … the ONE SELF YOU Really Are.

By Tom Koulopoulos

Have the courage to do this one thing and you’ll never look at giving up in the same way again.

“…never give in, never give in, never, never, never-in nothing, great or small, large or petty – never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense.” – Winston Churchill

If you’ve followed me on Inc.com, you’re well aware of my attitude towards giving up; in a word, DON’T. I’m ridiculously tenacious–and it’s not always a good thing! But I just had a conversation with a friend that caused me to reframe my view. Stick with me for a few minutes and I’ll share a story that might just change the way you look at giving up.

Courage

It definitely takes courage to not give up, enormous courage that often defies logic, rational argument, and the advice of friends and family. But sometimes giving up is not a choice you make but one that’s made for you.

“Customs control for the future will stop you at the border every time if you’re packing the past.”

Life throws all sorts of circumstances our way, and at times you may simply not be able to hold on to a dream any longer. The reasons may be well outside of your control; financial, emotional, illness, or simply burn out. Nobody can tell you when the point will come when you absolutely have to let go, but the fact is you may have no say in the matter. But what you can choose in every case is whether you will give in and let circumstances rob you of what inspires you and gives you hope. The only person who can take that away from you is, yes, YOU!

Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda

I’m not speaking from an ivory tower on this. I’ve been there and I’ve done the coulda, shoulda, woulda song and dance on many occasions. The life of a business owner is rich in opportunities to do that on a daily basis. Hell, who am I kidding, all of our lives are! While you want to learn from your mistakes and life’s curve balls, there is a line you can’t cross when carrying the baggage of the past; it’s the line that separates the past from the future. Customs control for the future will stop you at the border every time if you’re packing the past.

But it’s not easy letting go.

When I built my first company in 1989 I thought I had truly blown it. I had put all the cash I had into it and about $40K of credit card debt. My partner and I had worked 24/7 for nearly two years to build the software and the business. We found a buyer for the business and worked for nearly a year to sell it. But the offer was paltry. I created countless spreadsheets and models to convince the buyer that it was worth so much more. None of it worked. In the end we had run out of cash and credit and had to take the offer. I ruminated for weeks over the fact that I could have, and should have, held out for more. To be blunt, I was pissed at myself. I was sitting on a small pile of cash and regretting it, wondering how I could have made the pile even bigger. All of this well after the transaction had occurred. I was angry with myself. I kept living in the past as though it would yield to my desires and intellect. Yes, in retrospect it sounds absolutely ridiculous. But, at the time, it obsessed me.

“…while the past no longer belonged to me, the future sure as hell did.”

It took a while but eventually it struck me that all of that effort to not give up was exactly what was keeping me from moving forward, and giving up was ironically the opportunity to launch my next business; while the past no longer belonged to me, the future sure as hell did. Just because I was naive enough to get seduced into a bad deal didn’t mean I wasn’t smart enough to learn from it and move on.

Once I turned that corner I never looked back. That small pile of cash soon became the seed for a business that would grow to be an Inc 500 company. There was never a need to look in the rearview mirror, I wasn’t living in the past, I didn’t need to, I had launched myself into a vision for the future that was so much greater.

Did I give up? Yes! I gave up on reliving the past, on dwelling on my failures, on blaming myself and others, and instead I doubled down on the future. Although I had to give up, I wasn’t going to give in.

It would be the perfect ending to this article to tell you that I’ve learned my lesson and hold myself out as a role model for living in the moment, but I’d be lying if I did. I’ve returned to that place of coulda, shoulda many times since, and I’m sure I will again. But each time I’ve ultimately bounced back into the future with an even greater enthusiasm. Maybe one of these times I won’t. There’s always that risk. But without the risk the excitement wouldn’t be there either. The reality is that we are happiest and most fulfilled when we are convinced that our greatest achievements, our best experiences, our biggest successes are still the ones that lie before us, not behinds us.

Bottom line? Giving up is not always a choice you’re given, sometimes it’s made for you. But giving in is your choice! And not giving in is what courage, success, and happiness are all about.

Relenting

Today I feel like a glass with no contents. I’m useless, without meaning - empty. Mom says that, “Shock is the body’s way of shutting down because it can’t handle the reality.” Yet, our bodies have an innate way of wanting to survive - so it fights. It cries, vomits, cramps and aches in a war to stay alive while trying to shut down at the same time. Geese, no wonder I have panic attacks; I’m not just in the middle of a war, I’m the fighting grounds.

But today I feel that someone waved the white flag. I feel there is a time out and I feel depleted of will. Maybe this is the depression phase. It’s as if I have been injected with morphine and all my limbs are heavy.

I don’t have any answers, and actually, I don’t have any questions right now either. I’m not numb, but my pain is minimal. People still ask me if I’m happy. Silly. But I don’t blame them, sometimes I seem happy. I have more happy times lately, like today when I took a motorcycle ride through the rice fields. I almost felt a gleeful sensation.  

I hear from many survivors of loved ones who passed-on too early, that the pain and sadness never go away, but the ability to just deal with it increases. Maybe that’s what depression is, my body relenting to the shock. I’m succumbing to the fact that my body isn’t going to shut down and yet, this heart ache isn’t going to subside. Depression is just that, the concave shape of my new life, missing a whole other life that completed mine. Either way...I’m starting to think he’s not coming back.

Giving in repeatedly, not speaking our truth, means that we don’t feel safe enough to be vulnerable. The result is the building up of shame (what’s wrong with me) and resentment (what’s wrong with them).
