“When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.”
-Franklin D. Roosevelt
Today, I was reading through The Best Way Out Is Always Through by BJ Gallagher, because I was thinking
of the best time of year to share some posts about perseverance. I realized that pretty much any time of year is a good time, since every season brings both joys and hardships. With that in mind, here’s a poem from BJ’s book called, “No Surrender”:
When you believe in yourself,
in your personal potential,
in your own future,
you have no choice-
surrender is not an option.
There’s nothing to do
but continue.
Sometimes you want to give up,
but you can’t-
something deep inside
won’t let you.
No white flags,
no bailing out,
no throwing in the towel
for you.
You have to keep going;
you must carry on;
you just take the next step…
and the next…
and the next…
