  1. She strives to be the best. Strives to keep going. Strives to provide for her family. Strives to finish college. She strives. Every day, she keeps going. She works. She works. She works. Yet everyone believes that she is lazy. That she can’t do it. But this is her dream- and she isn’t giving up. She is striving. Strive isn’t just a word to her- it’s her dream. Her strive.

  2. “Strive to do your best today” was the advice in Martin’s horoscope. Strive to make it through today would be more like it, he thought. Strive to stay alive, actually. It was shaping up to be that kind of morning already.

  3. I strive to become the best person that I can be. But is it enough? The world is such a cynical and dark place filled with heartache and hopelessness everywhere. In the end, what are we? Does what we strive to become and do matter? Does existing mean anything?

  4. Take a deep breath. It takes effort to strive in the game of life, that’s what we’re looking at. There are winners and losers, there are the ones with all the prizes and the ones who have to pay a price that can sometimes be too much to handle. But then when the winners and losers are named as such, we start doubting the system, as it is with any game – but especially this one. So we doubt if the winners and losers exist in themselves or how much of it is just us giving things names, consequently heavy with meanings and consequences. The future is always given such a terrifying connotation and as you grow older you realize: it is actually that terrifying. They weren’t exaggerating.

  5. I strive to become something more, something great, someone who impacts this dark world and adds some light. But with that comes expectation, which as Shakespeare supposedly said, “Is the root of all heartache.” It seems that it becomes an unbearable pressure; one that causes my knees to buckle, stomach to knot up, and heart to race. Failure is unacceptable and that’s what holds me back and makes me weak. We must fail many times before finding success, right? I must accept that concept in order to move forward.

  9. I was really striving to pass the test and do all the housework my mum was asking me to do at the same time, but in the end, I got to do everything on time and passed my tests.
