85 Never Give Up Quotes That Will Inspire You (Deeply) - Dreams Quote

On the outside our struggles are showing, Our doubtful thoughts are certainly growing. Deep down inside us our hearts are glowing, Because we know there is peace in knowing. While experiencing growth, they’ll be a price. Some paths we’ll walk once, and others walk twice. At some forks we may need to roll the dice, Hoping for an outcome that will suffice. We’ll be excited for our adventure, And know in our hearts that we will endure. Depending on faith when we feel unsure, We’ll use our life to evolve and mature. How did we do it? We’ll quickly surmise. Keeping on keeping on, won us the prize.

Bill, I used to follow Dr. David Viscott before he passed away. My wife and I went to a couple of his events....he had a following and traveled around the country. His wiki page is very interesting as he was a trailblazer in talk radio. He always said that we learn by doing and sometimes we learn that what we are doing is not right for us. That's OK. Someone a long time ago mentioned to me that success and failure have a lot in common....they both bring us to a new stage in life.

I agree with Dr. Viscott's statement, Duke. I've also found that sometimes we do something, learn something then realize it's what we were meant to learn from it and move on to new experiences. I also believe that success and failure have much in common. Primarily we have an opportunity to learn from both. Learning from our (perceived) failures is one way to turn a failure into a success. Thanks for helping me to think with your comment, my friend. have a great week! Bill

A theme we should never let die Bill. Nice write to bring a few modern doubters to believe that nothing truer has been written for some time. PS Our Eldest daughter gave us the news yesterday that she is 14 weeks pregnant with identical twin boys due in August. Our first Grandson started school and loves it. Regards David in NZ

How true Bill! Deep down our hearts are always glowing, so beautiful and easy to remember when we are struggling. Thank you for your message! Just today I read a quote saying, "fear is caused by our absorption in the illusory energy". A constant reminder is necessary to not to get drawn into it.

Those lessons in life that we have to keep on learning are the hardest ones or so it seems. I enjoyed reading your post. Sara K

Thanks for the comments, Sara. I agree, when we don't learn the lesson, it keeps coming back over and over until it gets its message through to us. lol Blessings, my friend. Bill

A meaningful and profound sonnet ! I love its smooth flow, dear Bill. Sometimes our paths may seem rugged. Sometimes doubts heap up in our mind, but continue treading through the path holding on to faith. Never give up, but persevere and we will be rewarded. So inspiring, my friend.
