Have you ever found yourself wondering what was going to happen next? Do you work on something so hard only to find a lack of immediate gratification? These are questions I have asked myself routinely throughout the past couple months. I have been working on things without fail for a while now and I have just not made the progress I thought I would have.
Would you stop or quit after a while of not making any sales or progress? I have done this before only to be disappointed later. When you work at something so hard and then quit, you defeat everything else you plan on doing in the future.
I am at a point where I would love to see some immediate gratification. Am I going to quit? Nope. I have a poem I read every time I get a little discouraged or down. I want to share it with you in hopes it will lift you up through your day to day endeavours.
Don’t Quit
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,
When 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 if he’d 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 afar;
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit -
It’s when things seem worst that you mustn’t quit.
