| The Never Give Up Attitude The Never Give Up Attitude "Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time." Thomas A. Edison Today... Do you feel like you're at the end of your road. Your situation has left you with no place to turn. Have you lost hope? Then it's time. For you to try again. If you fail, keep trying, then try again. Read this last sentence again... then repeat. Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never... in nothing, great or small, large or petty... never give in, except to convictions of honor and good sense. Never yield to force. Never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy. Winston Churchill Know (as did two of the greatest minds of our time, Thomas Edison and Winston Churchill) that persistence and perseverance are key ingredients in success. Always live your life by the old saying "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again". Research and studies of successful people show that the most successful people in this world possess a tremendous level of persistence and perseverance. They keep going, keep trying and stay at it. When the going gets tough and when others tell you to stop, keep trying. When you have great perseverance... you take into account what others say... but never let it control your actions or your life. You must remain true to your vision. Success will come to you and your life, but only if you are persistant, persevere through the tough times, never give up and keep trying. It will take single mindedness, determination, dedication, self-belief, the ability to never give in and never, never, never... ever, give up. If you will do this, you'll distinguish yourself as someone who can and will do great things with your life. "Patience and tenacity of purpose are worth more than twice their weight of cleverness." Thomas Henry Huxley I believe that God wants great things for your life. God has so many great things in store for you. So many gifts to give you. I believe that your life and what you do with it are your gifts to God. Honor God with your life. My prayer for you today is that you'll never give up. Ever. Never. Keep going... When it gets tough, pray... and try again. ©2006 Tim Levin (I'm a member of the Daily Inspiration email list.. and received this in an email today.)

God's word tells us the same...Stay the course. # 1 Corinthians 9:24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. # Galatians 5:7 You were running a good race. Who cut in on you and kept you from obeying the truth? # Hebrews 12:1 [ God Disciplines His Sons ] Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.
