Day 167 – Don’t Quit!

“Failure is a trickster with a keen sense of irony and cunning. It takes great delight in tripping one when success is almost within reach.” ~ Napoleon Hill

How often do we start moving in one direction, face opposition and then quit? You had a great idea, you had tremendous passion, but once the real work came, you wore yourself out! It happens all the time to even the strongest willed people. They give up right before the good stuff is about to happen.

As long as you’re still alive whatever you put your mind too you can achieve. You have the choice to keep on keeping on. You can either be successful or not but how would you know if you quit?

The road to failure and despair is littered with the dreams of those who failed to act upon them.

You can finish first, you can finish last or perhaps somewhere in between but that doesn’t really matter. The most important thing is that you finish whatever you are doing.

Achieving success is not an easy thing to do at first but as long as you never quit, everything becomes easier. No amount of road blocks are strong enough to stop you from achieving your goals. Find ways to go around them, over them, or even straight through them if need be!

In life there will be many people who try to pull you down, and make you second guess your dreams. Don’t let them pull you down, the truth is they just want you on the same level as they are.

You are a special and unique individual. You will have your own success story, no matter what your hardships may be. When you accomplish your goals and dreams you will be an inspiration for others who are in similar situations.

Never quit so you can prove to yourself, friends, family, and the world that its possible! So many people lack faith in themselves, give them a reason to believe that their capable of achieving their dreams.

And finally, no matter what situations you are in, it could always be worse. Be grateful for what you have, and don’t worry about what you don’t. You will soon enough complete all your dreams and goals, but focus on what you can do to achieve them instead of what limits you.

I leave you with this poem.

Don’t quit is an inspirational poem that you will refer to whenever you’re a bit less motivated. It’s a great way to get back on track again whenever you’re feeling down, are in a rut or have a block of some kind on your road.

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 quit.

Life is strange with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a fellow 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 fair and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor’s cup,
And he learned too late when night came 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.
