Whatever You Do, Don’t Quit

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,

When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,

When the funds are low and the debts are high,

And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,

When care is pressing you down a bit,

Rest, if you must, but don’t you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,

As every one of us sometimes learns,

And many a failure turns about,

When he might have won had he stuck it out;

Don’t give up though the pace seems slow—

You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than,

It seems to a faint and faltering man,

Often the struggler has given up,

When he might have captured the victor’s cup,

And he learned too late when the night slipped down,

How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out—

The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,

And you never can tell how close you are,

It may be near when it seems so far,

So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit—

It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.

Signs That You Are Awakening

 

Wouldn’t it be nice if there were signposts along the personal growth path that indicated how far we’d come or what progress had been made? An occasional ”You’re Almost There!”, or, “You’ve Arrived!” would be pretty amazing, don’t you think?

While there are no flashing lights or banners to herald our inner development achievements, there are moments that signal our “awakening”. The incredible author of The Power Of Now, Eckhart Tolle, tells us how to recognize them in this wonderful 3-minute video.

Learning To Be Gentle With Yourself

Kathy Berman shares this beautiful quote:

“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.” Rainer Maria Rilke

American Minute for December 26th; the Battle of Trenton

Emanuel Leutze's depiction of Washington's att...

The first six months of the Revolution saw the Continental Army chased out of New York, across New Jersey, and into Pennsylvania.

Ranks dwindled from 20,000 to 2,000 exhausted soldiers- most leaving at year’s end when their six-month enlistment was up.

Expecting a British invasion, the Continental Congress fled Philadelphia and sent the word:

“Until Congress shall otherwise order, General Washington shall be possessed of full power to order and direct all things.”

In a military operation, with the password “Victory or Death,” Washington’s troops crossed the ice-filled Delaware River at midnight Christmas Day.

Trudging in a blinding blizzard, with one soldier freezing to death, they attacked the feared Hessian troops at Trenton, New Jersey, on daybreak DECEMBER 26, 1776, capturing nearly a thousand in just over an hour.

A few Americans were shot and wounded, including James Monroe, the future 5th President.

Washington wrote August 20, 1778:

“The Hand of Providence has been so conspicuous in all this-the course of the war-that he must be worse than an infidel that lacks faith, and more wicked that has not gratitude to acknowledge his obligations; but it will be time enough for me to turn Preacher when my present appointment ceases.”

How Do You ‘Change’ Someone Who Doesn’t Want To Change?

Dave Elliott writes:

There is a huge difference between who you’ve been in the past and WHO YOU ARE at your core. Remember: the past does not dictate the future and your actions do not dictate your identity…although, on occasion, they do reveal who you’ve become. Identity is the strongest force in the human personality because we are compelled internally to be congruent with who we believe we are…and when we don’t act in alignment with those beliefs, we experience pain…

You’ve probably heard that doing the same thing over and over again while expecting a different result is the very definition of insanity. So whether you’re the one who needs to change your own behavior or the one who wants someone else to change — both of you need to break the behavior loop that keeps you stuck. Think of it as adopting a little “operational flexibility.” The truth is you will never in this lifetime change someone who doesn’t want to change – but I can tell you this: when you change how you show up — other people will automatically “shift.”

Let Your Presence Be the Present

This holiday season, let your presence be the present.

When you are living in the moment and present with those around you, you are a gift to all those you come into contact.

It is easy to get caught up in the holiday frenzy and experience stress. Sometimes, we catch ourselves thinking, “When I finish the following items on my to-do list, then I will able to relax and enjoy the holiday.” But we’ve come to learn this is a false belief—the only real time is now. We see this particularly in the eyes of our children, who naturally live in the moment and, therefore, don’t understand having to put up with unpleasant means just to get to an end. Justifying our frazzled, harried states as necessary to eventually achieve the perfect peaceful holiday is a flawed idea. On a practical level, the “end” or that “perfect” peaceful day doesn’t really exist, at least not in an external reality. No matter how much we prepare, there will always be something to think about, more to do, or, often, an unexpected glitch. It’s important to recognize what matters is the present moment. Our sense of peace comes from within. How we experience the means or the process is our life and, therefore, is our holiday.

We each have the opportunity to be in the holiday spirit in every moment, whether we’re wrapping presents, sitting around the tree with family, in line at the grocery, or driving in holiday traffic—it is all the same. We may practice peace, celebrate, and enjoy the miracle in each of these ordinary moments rather than sacrifice or be stressed out in hopes of some future return.

How we are with ourselves and others leading up to the holiday celebrations is as important, if not more than, the perfect gift, precisely wrapped presents, the ideal meal, etc.

You are the holiday greeting, the message, and the gift, so be peaceful, joyful, and loving.

A mere mortal…

image

My passion [as I have expressed many times on this blog] is to find and share the best thoughts I can. In business, I teach others to do the same. For those of you who don’t know, I do this work out of 100-year-old farmhouse in rural Wisconsin. My only connection to the Internet is a Sprint cellular modem. This means that I’ve had to become pretty efficient. Over the years as to how I use the limited bandwidth I have…

Our Internet connection at the best of times is barely fast enough to deliver low-quality streaming movies via Netflix or Amazon [if we shut off all the other Internet devices in the house]. Yesterday, we sat down to watch “It’s a Wonderful Life” and the Internet connection was even worse than usual. After checking all the usual problems, I called Sprint and discovered that the tower on the south side of Algoma was out of order reducing our internet speeds to dialup levels! The horror of it all — I have been reduced to mere mortal status without a reliable Internet connection…

I’m taking this as a sign from him the Uni-verse that I should get off the Internet and focus on family so with that, I sign off wishing you and all the people who matter to you a happy and healthy holiday filled with all the things that matter most to you!
