When he might have won had he stuck it out.ĭon’t give up though the pace seems slow, When the funds are low and the debts are high,Īnd you want to smile, but you have to sigh. When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill. When things go wrong as they sometimes will, My long-time favorite poem by an anonymous author is worth remembering today: Remember in Science class when we learned that “a body at rest tends to remain at rest or a body in motion tends to remain in motion.” This is especially true when overcoming circumstances because “paralysis” usually keeps us in the condition longer than we’d like.īut even more important, is that once we’ve started in motion, even though it may not seem like much, know this – it’s now only a matter of time before you’re out, totally out, of the situation that has got you down today. One thing I share with people who seek my advice when they think their life has come apart, is to help them understand the power that even the tiniest of actions can have when taken in a negative situation. If we’ll see it as a time to learn how to control our thoughts toward an ideal that we cherish. But it’s usually at this time that our greatest growth can occur if we’ll see the moment as a growth opportunity. All we can think of is our conditions worsening. One of the lines says, “stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit – It’s when things seem worst that you mustn’t quit.” In our darkest hour it’s hard to see the end of our circumstance. You cannot travel within and stand still without.” - As A Man Thinkethįor many years I have carried around a poem called Don’t Quit. “Your circumstances may be uncongenial, but they shall not remain so if you only perceive an ideal and strive to reach it.
