I ran across the "Don't Quit" poem again while I was reading one of my favorite books. I love the line in it that says, "And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems so far." Lately I have been feeling that success in certain areas of my life seems so far away, maybe you feel the same way about something in yours. This poem provided a good reminder that even though it may seem like we are walking on a treadmill uphill, just by walking the hill at all we are closer to the end than we realize. If we keep on moving on we have already won half the battle, if we quit, then we certainly don't win anything. So read the poem...and just don't quit.DON'T QUIT
"When things go wrong as they sometimes will
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill.
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...
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.
