Route 66

When things becomes almost impossible to accomplish,

When life decides to give you lemons,

or When relationships/friendships aren't sailing in the direction we seek,

Will quitting ever be enough?

Will walking away be enough?

How often do we say the words,"I Quit!"?

Too often.

More often than not, we say it too easily.

Sometimes, out of frustration.

What is life without challenges and obstacles?

What is life satisfaction without hardwork and sweat?

This isn't about accomplishing goals or crossing something off your resolution.

This is about finishing what you have started.

Who says life is like a math problem with only one solution?

4 x 3 = 12, but 6 x 2 is also equivalent to 12.

If one method doesn't work, then try taking another method.

Perhaps this method will not have a remainder at the end of the problem.

Why say those words,"I Quit!" so easily?

If you are not happy with life, find a way.

Taking yourself out of the equation won't make you any happier than you would hope.

There is no shortcut to happiness neither does miracles happen overnight.

Everytime you say the words "I Quit!", ask yourself this,

"Why did I start this in the first place?"

Nobody said the process to the top was an easy ride,

but if you can't even push through this battle,

what other battles do you think can push through in life then?

Good things in life don't come easy. Fight for it.

Then proudly tell the world, you earned it with pride.

Walk down that road,

Conquer that battle,

Then tell your story.

A story that you can be proud of.

"The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough. They’re there to stop the other people."
