This morning I had to get up earlier than normal to take care of some things, and before I was even out of bed, I was filled with dread for the day. As I laid there in bed, putting off the day ahead, I started to think about what I would write about today. When I finally found a topic, it brightened my day a little and I had the motivation to get up and get moving.
I have picture that a friend's daughter colored from me along time ago, hanging up in my room. Its a picture of a crane standing in the water with a struggling frog half in its mouth. The caption at the bottom of the picture reads: 'NEVER GIVE UP'. When I saw it hanging there on the wall, I realized that even though I had a busy day with lots of unexciting, tedious things to do I would still be able to get through it. Alot of times when I am having a bad day and am just ready to quit, I always end up being reminded not to give up.
I have had several times in my career when it would have been SOO much easier to give up and take the easy way out, but I never did. Sure, it may have taken me longer to get things done but I know that when Im finally finished that I have earned it. I like to think that in a way my not giving up has set me apart from all the others. Its like the saying goes: nothing worth having comes easy.
I would like to encourage you to NEVER GIVE UP! Don't be afraid to take the extra step to help get you where you want to go; its not always easy, but in th
e end it's always worth it!
