DON’T QUIT

Children are very familiar with the saying “Winners never quit and quitters never win”.  It has been used to encourage many a runner to finish a race and send a tired quarterback back into the game.  This quote has encouraged  a sales team to push for next mark and the next level.  Although an elementary  and simple message, it is applicable to any area of your life.

The cynic says it’s easy for you to say, just keep living and you’ll see how simple it is.  The truth of the matter is no one said it was simple. It’s not  easy for the boxer with a bloody nose, who has been knocked to his knees to get up and face another round. I’m sure in his mind, he sees the next punch coming and still remembers the pain of the last blow and yet he still returns to the fight.

I’m sure  we all have seen the runners that have fallen, get up and continue the race despite the race already won by someone else. We remember those exemplary runners who will forego winning to assist the one that has fallen, complete the race.

As you are faced with opposition and discouragement in route to your dream,  don’t quit. Remember  these examples and others who kept the prize before them, and despite the odds , would not quit.  When you feel like you are fainting, use examples of those who have overcome great obstacles on their way to success to encourage yourself.  Do like the game show and “Call a friend” if you need additional support. The runner did, and their friend helped them to cross the finish line.  Whatever you need to do to finish—FINISH! It will be worth the struggle.
