Don’t quit, build your faith!

faith-sky-poster

Success comes to those who develop faith and arm themselves with patience. I truly believe that whatever is worth having is worth the wait. I came across this piece of poetry about not quitting and I wanted to share it with you. The video below is a story of man whom doctors told he would never walk again, he proved them wrong by having faith and taking action. I hope both will inspire to keep on keeping on when the going is tough.

When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill,
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,
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.
- Edgar A. Guest

    Diama,

    Again great pick on Edgar Guest poem. I love it!

    The poem certainly enlightened us on what to do “when the going gets tough”, and the advice to “stick to the fight”, is indeed a guide post. I just wanted to comment on the how to really stick to the fight. What are the tool we must have that will allow us to stick to the fight? As every life’s battle required us to be armed with some tools to win or a least negotiate successfully our way out. The poem suggested faith. Again how to build faith? Is faith something one can build? isn’t it the same battle that could break us that strenghten our faith simultaneously?

    I am not pretending to provide an answer here, but only stimulate a discussion worth having. From a personal experience, I know that one tool that really assist someone to stick to the fight is to keep a genuine sense of purpose for the fight. I truely believe that the strength of the purpose diminishes the toughness of the fight. That purpose creates passion and with passion one can say that more than half of any battle in life is already won. AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR THIS GREAT POST.
