Day 82 – 1% Change {90-Day Challenge} Don’t Quit

Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.
~Dale Carnegie  

Day 82 - 90

 

How are you doing on your 1% Change?  Are you pressing on even when you feel like quitting?

I memorized this quote during my high school basketball season.  It EnCoUrAgEs me to this day – reminding me not to quit.

 Don’t 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 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

Two Rules to Live By

two rules

Have you ever experienced a funk day that just wouldn’t quit?  (Hand raised right here…)

Yep, that’s right, this Peace Coach has been on an extended funk day and I’m not sure when it will subside, but am hoping real soon.

So, in the mean time, what does someone on the Peace with Food journey do when they find them self in this predicament?  For me, it’s reminding myself of the “Two Rules To Live By” poster I once saw. Rule #1: Don’t Quit and Rule #2: Refer to Rule #1.

And as I put one foot in  front of the other I keep the faith.

So there you have it.  Nothing profound. Nothing exciting.  Just outlast the funk.

Because all funks have expiration dates, but faith never expires.
