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.

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.

    Everyone could use a lift once in awhile especially when things aren't going as planned!!!! But we all have to hang in there and take it day by day!!!! That is what I tell myself when I have one bad day ....there is always a NEXT.

    "Plan for good. Give yourself something to look forward to and it will motivate you. When our enthusiasm lags, energy vanishes for lack of nourishment....Open your mind and spirit to new understanding and new ability to overcome any problem-especially inertia. What appears to be impossible may be the wall you can only see from your present stance. If you are willing to give thanks for something you want before you see it, you will not be disappointed. Be constant to your goals, show gratitude-and one day you will look back and wonder why you doubted."
