Hi everyone. Its mid-week again. I found the poem below very inspirational. It encourages us to persevere through hardships, disappointments and  failures. Some people quit when they were very close to winning, they just didn’t know it. Let’s keep going, no matter what, because we have what it takes to win and we may be closer than we realize. I hope this poems inspires you as it inspired me.

Grit Your Teeth And Bear It By David V. Bush

“When each thing has gone awry,

Grit your teeth and bear it!

“When you choke and heave a sigh,

Grit your teeth and bear it!

When your luck is not with you,

Life’s horizon streaked with blue,

Pluck and sand will pull you through —

Grit your teeth and bear it!

When your plan’s been blown away,

Grit your teeth and bear it!

There will dawn another day.

Grit your teeth and bear it!

When your feet are slipping fast.

And you’re dwelling on the past,

Brace yourself — these things can’t last —

Grit your teeth and bear it!

When they say, “we told you so”,

Grit your teeth and bear it!

Free advisers seldom know —

Grit your teeth and bear it!

You have got the stuff to win;

Finish it if you begin;

Fill your lungs and lift your chin!

Grit your teeth and bear it!

 

Stay safe and well. Looking forward to your feedback, as usual.
