Don't Quit: Inspiration to Persist Through Divorce, Grief, Depression

Some days, it's really hard for me to maintain that internal motivation that keeps me going.  I stop what I am doing and start looking at my situation with pessimism or doubt. It's really difficult to focus on the future.  I came across this poem recently on a day when I really needed the message. I think anyone going through divorce or any difficult life changes could find a little inspiration from reading it.

Don't Quit

Jill Wolf

Don't quit when the tide is lowest, 

For it's just about to turn,

Don't quit over doubts and questions,

For there's something you may learn,

Don't quit when the night is darkest,

For it's just a while 'til dawn;

Don't quit when you've run the the farthest,

For the race is almost won.

Don't quit when the hill is steepest,

For your goal is almost nigh;

Don't quit, for you're not a failure,

Until you fail to try.
