Today’s Tip: Don’t You Quit

Here is a quote that I have had hanging on my wall for years.  If you happen to know where this quote originated from, please let me know.  I don’t know who the actual author is and would like to give them credit.

DON’T YOU QUIT!
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 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 some time 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 their worst that
YOU MUST NOT QUIT!

This quote always seems to pull me through when I feel I’m in a tough spot.  This past week has been hard and I’m trying to pull myself out of the funk.  I have not worked out for over a week, I’m eating everything in sight and I was quite excited to head back to the gym tomorrow for spin class, taking it easy of course when yesterday my knee started hurting badly again.  I’m being tested that is for sure but hoping for the best today.
