'you Must Resist the Urge To Quit'

At times life can get quite tough, you must resist the urge to quit

The fact that you decide to fight back, this proves you are mentally fit

Approach your day with courage, this will put you in good stead

Plant seeds of hope inside your mind and you'll evade shear dread

Try not to become overwhelmed by the work that lies ahead

Practice good habits every day and positivity will be spread

Right now you may find yourself in a very tough position

You may be down but you can turn this around if you make the right transition

Life's all about moving forward, do you believe in yourself

Once you adopt this new approach, it will aide your mental health

Fall in love with life again, fulfill your destiny

It's crucial you have self belief with success the recipe

Do not become disheartened if you experience a setback

Retaliate with a strong mental state by going on the attack

I would like to take this moment to say that I'm so proud of you

Think of my words as ammunition and they will help you see this through

No matter what life throws at you, perceive that you'll succeed

When I think of you I see a warrior, I'm sure you will agree

We are battle hardened, we're no strangers to war

Freedom, happiness and success are what we are fighting for

Just before you go to sleep at night, I want to leave you all with this

I truly believe that you have what it takes to fight your way out the abyss
