So I needed a little Motivation

I hope I am putting this in the right place, as I don't believe I have ever posted my own topic here except to introduce myself.
Over the last few weeks ( like the last i don't know- Month) I have realized through a series of events that I have gotten off track. I tend to believe that MFP has become a way of Life and, recently I am veering from MFP in a very different direction. As of yesterday I stated my intention, to renew this way of life, and today I need to get my act back together, here is a short poem, that I used to remind myself that know matter what, for my health and those in my world I need to succeed.

DON'T Quit!

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow--
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor's cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out--
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit--
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.
