QUITTERS NEVER WIN AND WINNERS NEVER QUIT

You just need to be true to who you are.
Accept you for you and live each day as you.
Most people and you think and know that you are the most stupid person ever to exist.
They call you all sorts of names.
They underrate your prowess and demoralize you.
To others, you are irritable.
You step on the toes of people and they smack you in the face.
You peep through your life and every accusation points clearly and directly at your face.
The mirror of your life scares the hell out of you.
You question yourself, your life and who you are made of but the answers are hard to find.
Your self-confidence and self-respect are at the verge of collapse because you have not yet found the right antidote.
Just be real about yourself.
Live you as you.
Accept you for you.
Talk you as you and be proud of yourself.
A stupid person has more to learn and a wise person has more to teach.
Being stupid is a platform for you to learn and being wise is a chance for you to teach.
Everybody has to accept his or her role in life.
You need to persist and persevere.
Many were like you but are no more.
Abraham Lincoln, the 32nd President of America, was real to himself.
He did himself a favor and explored his true identity.
He failed 12 times in life but recovered as a bombshell.
At age 22, he failed in business.
At age 23, he ran for the legislature and was defeated.
At age 24, he attempted business again and failed again.
At 25, he was elected to the legislature.
At 26, his fiancee died before they could wed.
At 27, he had a nervous breakdown.
At 29, he was defeated when he ran for House Speaker.
At 31, he was defeated when he ran for the Elector.
At 34, he was defeated for a Congressional Office.
At 37, he was elected to Congress.
At 39, he was defeated again for a Congressional Office.
At 46, he was defeated for the Office of a Senate.
At 47, he was defeated for the Office of Vice President.
At 49, he was defeated again for the Office of a Senate.
At 51, he was elected to the U.S Presidency.
(as cited in the "Recipe for Success", page 79)
Thomas Edison also tried 9,999 times to perfect the light bulb but failed.
But he said, "Certainly not (will I be discouraged). Now I know 10,000 ways it doesn't work".
Listen, your character is a perfect handiwork of the Creator, so why despise yourself for somebody else's.
Wishing to be somebody is not a measure to become that person but a measure to be you in that person.
All you hear are complaints and criticisms about what you are incapable of doing but can give it a try, which you are not doing, when the little things you do well are less recognized and appreciated.
Sometimes, you wish that what you do could be appreciated by somebody but that somebody is the nobody in your life.
But you can make this work.
People can not stand your character but you alone can stand your character.
So, why don't you start to act as yourself and leave the rest to take care of themselves.
Keep going on even though the going is hard.
Your world might be crushing down but there is one significant trinket the world can never take away from you and that's YOU.
When you die, you die as you. So, as you live, live as you.
These are the words that kept running through my mind and I thought it necessary to share them with a concerned soul.
I AM PROUD TO BE ME AND NOT YOU.
