Keep Going

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 have to sigh.
When care is pressing you down a bit --
Rest if you must, but don't quit.

Life is queer 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 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 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.

There is a solution to every problem

For every problem I create, there is a solution. I am not limited by my human-mind thinking, for I am connected with the entire Universal Wisdom and Knowledge. I come from the loving space of the heart and know that love opens all doors. There is an ever-ready Power that helps me meet and overcome every challenge and crisis in my life. I know that every problem has been healed somewhere in the world. Therefore, I know that this can happen for me. I wrap myself in a cocoon of love, and know that all is well in my world.

If you want to create better health in your body, there are definitely some things you must not do: You must not get angry at your body for any reason. Anger is another affirmation, and it's telling your body that you hate it, or parts of it. Your cells are very aware of every thought you have. Think of your body as a servant that's working as hard as it can to keep you in perfect health no matter how you treat it.

My mother used to say to me, "You can have fun when your chores are done." And isn't that the way we all seem to be living our lives? We don't allow ourselves to have fun until all the menial tasks have been taken care of.
But guess what? Our chores are never done. And they never will be. Welcome to the real world!

Don't wait! Incorporate fun into as many moments as you can. Celebrate often! No matter how much stress you might be feeling, pull on those party pants and realize that stress is just another part of the wonderful adventure called life!

I've learned that either you control your attitude or it controls you.
I've learned that two people can look at exactly the same thing and see something totally different.
