Every tomorrow has two handles. We can take hold of it with the handle of anxiety or the handle of faith.
– Henry Ward Beecher

When Things Go Wrong
by Author Unknown

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 in the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It might be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit -
It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.

The above poem is better known as the “Don’t Quit” poem. I came across it years ago and it made an impression on me. I believe this beautiful and inspirational poem has too made a mark on countless people’s lives.

A friend who’s always there

– by Author Unknown

If I could catch a rainbow
I would do it just for you
and share with you its beauty
On the days you’re feeling blue.

If I could build a mountain
You could call your very own
A place to find serenity
A place to be alone

If I could take your troubles
I would toss them in the sea
But all these things I’m finding
are impossible for me.

I cannot build a mountain
Or catch a rainbow fair
But let me be what I know best -
A friend who’s always there.

One is by the sword. The otheris by debt.”

John Adams 1826

“When injustice becomes law, then resistance becomes duty.” T. Jefferson

Inner peace can be reached only when we practice forgiveness. Forgiveness is letting go of the past, and is therefore the means for correcting our misperceptions.

Let go. Why do you cling to pain? There is nothing you can do about the wrongs of yesterday. It is not yours to judge. Why hold on to the very thing which keeps you from hope and love?
– Leo Buscaglia

Letting go doesn’t mean giving up, but rather accepting that there are things that cannot be.
– Anon

Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.
– Mother Teresa

“Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours.”

 Art Rand Quote for Overcoming Addiction

“When everything seems like an uphill struggle, just think of the view from the top”

“Life is just a minute,
Only sixty seconds in it,

Forces upon you, can’t refuse it.
Didn’t seek it, didn’t choose it.
But it’s up to you to use it.
You must suffer if you lose it,

Give an account if you abuse it,
Just a tiny little minute,
But eternity is in it.” — Unknown
