I came across this poem “Don’t Quit” which is inspiring and well written. With simple words the message of determination, perseverance. life’s challenges can enhance our destiny. It can be unclear when the storms of life hit us, that in midst of each black cloud there is a seed of growth. Yet when most people are faced with uncertainty tend to give up and quit, this poem is a different way to look at issues which we don’t understand or want to face. A simple way to ignite the inner voice that speaks within us all. No matter how large or how small, by simply keep going every day will lead you closer to your goals. It has been said that quitting is a temporary solution to a permanent problem. By never quitting and looking at every failure as a lessen learned, we gain confidence, our vision of what we seek in life appears, this leads to momentum which essentially leads to success.
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,
When 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 if he’d 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 afar;
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit –
It’s when things seem worst that you mustn’t quit.
My intention with this poem is to provide encouragement and positive energy to you in a world full of negativity. If you are reading this you understand greatness is within you. The outside forces of life can never stop you from achieving your goals. You were made by first class by first class and deserve nothing less.
Begin tomorrow what ever life event is happening to you right now, know that this is temporary and soon it will pass.
Never stop dreaming and thinking of the future. Although we can’t change the past the future is always brighter and holds more opportunities for you!
~ Stay Strong~
