    Don't Quit
    Poster From Art.com
    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 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 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.

    Every Day Gets Better

    Say this little rhyme to yourself three times, three times a day, (while looking in a mirror is best):
    Every day, and in every way, I am getting better and better.

    Emile Coue wrote this back in the early 1900's. He says that if you follow the instructions that your life will dramatically change for the better. As he says, "Our subconscious is entirely reprogrammable by this simple positive sentence." It puts your imagination into gear and it starts your subconscious believing that things really will go better and then because you have this belief, your life just naturally does get better and better. There's numerous testimonials that it does work. Give it a try, it's easy to do and the words are easy to remember. The added benefit of doing this is it'll put you in a good mood.

    The Optimists Creed

    by Christian D. Larson - 1912 from The Secret

    I Promise Myself
    To be so strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind.
    To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person I meet.
    To make all my friends feel that there is something worthwhile in them.
    To look at the sunny side of everything, and make my optimism come true.
    To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best.
    To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about my own.
    To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
    To wear a cheerful expression at all times and give a smile to every living creature I meet.
    To give so much time to improving myself that I have no time to criticize others.
    To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
    To think well of myself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words, but in great deeds.
    To live in the faith that the whole world is on my side, so long as I am true to the best that is in me.

    Desiderata

    Max Ehrmann (1872 to 1945), poem written in the 1920's
    Desiderata is Latin for "desired things"

    Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
    and remember what peace there may be in silence.

    As far as possible, without surrender,
    be on good terms with all persons.

    Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
    and listen to others,
    even to the dull and the ignorant;
    they too have their story.
    Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
    they are vexatious to the spirit.

    If you compare yourself with others,
    you may become vain or bitter,
    for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
    Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
    Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
    it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

    Exercise caution in your business affairs,
    for the world is full of trickery.
    But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
    many persons strive for high ideals,
    and everywhere life is full of heroism.
    Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
    Neither be cynical about love,
    for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
    it is as perennial as the grass.

    Take kindly the counsel of the years,
    gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
    Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
    But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
    Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

    Beyond a wholesome discipline,
    be gentle with yourself.
    You are a child of the universe
    no less than the trees and the stars;
    you have a right to be here.
    And whether or not it is clear to you,
    no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

    Therefore be at peace with God,
    whatever you conceive Him to be.
    And whatever your labors and aspirations,
    in the noisy confusion of life,
    keep peace in your soul.

    With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
    it is still a beautiful world.
    Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
