They say when one door closes another one opens, yet the hallways are hard. I know that to be true, especially when we have a limited perspective to really understand the WHY of our circumstances. Winston Churchill said: NEVER NEVER NEVER Give Up! The “HOW” is: See It Through! (below).
~*~
When you’re up against a trouble,
Meet it squarely, face to face;
Lift your chin and set your shoulders,
Plant your feet and take a brace.
When it’s vain to try to dodge it,
Do the best that you can do;
You may fail, but you may conquer,
See it through!
Black may be the clouds about you
And your future may seem grim,
But don’t let your nerve desert you;
Keep yourself in fighting trim.
If the worst is bound to happen,
Spite of all that you can do,
Running from it will not save you,
See it through!
Even hope may seem but futile,
When with troubles you’re beset,
But remember you are facing
Just what other men have met.
You may fail, but fall still fighting;
Don’t give up, whate’er you do;
Eyes front, head high to the finish.
See it through!

Thank you for the positive inspiration you share Elayna. This post inspired me to face an issue that I had been putting off for days and I was letting it weigh me down. And in reality, it wasn't even an issue once I took action! The only reason it was an issue is because I made it one!
Thank you for all you share!
