Don't Quit

Hey! Amy Gibson Here again to share some insights and thoughts on how to move forward in the face of adversity and trials.

Sometimes when life begins to press on us, and we feel like giving up it helps to have a boost. I find inspirational stories, videos, and music really helpful during these times. Whether it be feeling a lack of motivation in the area of fitness and weight loss goals. Or maybe we are dealing with some serious life challenges. A loved one making poor choices, a friend or relative passing away, a sick child, financial issues. Whatever it is you are dealing with, take courage. Keep fighting!!! It will get better. Watch this video! Keep your head up and push forward!!!

The Don’t Quit Poem (Original)

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.

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 so far,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit--
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

Now take these words to heart. Think about them, write it down, post it on your mirror. Decide what goals and dreams you really want. Make a plan of action that will truly move you forward, in the right direction. Keep trying, keep moving. It’s when we give up and quit trying, that were really in trouble. We might not move very quickly…..but some effort is better then NO effort.

Good Luck! feel free to write a comment on ways that help you move forward with fitness goals or any goal for that matter. Or comment telling us if you found this post helpful! Have a splendid day and take action towards your dreams and goals today!!
