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.

33

Life is queer with its twists and turns,As every one of us sometimes learns,

And many a fellow turns aboutWhen he might have won had he stuck it out.Don't give up though the pace seems slow -

You may succeed with another blow.

44

Often the goal is nearer thanIt seems to a faint and faltering man;

Often the struggler has given upWhen he might have captured the victor's cup;

And he learned too late when the night came down,How close he was to the golden crown.

 

55

Success is failure turned inside out -The silver tint in the clouds of doubt,

And you never can tell how close you are,It might be near when it seems afar;

So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

Be honest with yourself, and with everyone else as well. There are some things you like and other things you dislike, and that's just fine.

Be fully accepting of yourself, and of others as well. You are who you are, with your dreams and passions, preferences and interests,

and each person is delightfully unique.

99

What you run from or hide from or seek to deny, grows bigger and more influential as a result.

 By getting things out in the open, by seeing them for what they truly are, you become free of their control.

You are where you are and life is the way it is. The more completely you accept it,

the more power you have to do something about it.

1010

This moment carries enormous opportunity. No positive purpose is served by fighting against it.

Instead, accept what is, the way you are, the way you feel, and the things that life has brought to you. Then you can make the very most of it all.

One more for a laugh...

WOMAN AND GOD

A middle aged woman had a heart attack and was taken to the hospital.

While on the operating table she had a near death experience.

Seeing God She asked "Is my time up?" God said, "No, you have another 43 years, 2 months and 8 days to live"

Upon recovery, the woman decided to stay in the hospital and have aFacelift, liposuction, and a tummy tuck. She even had someone come in and change her hair color.

Since she had so much more time to live, she figured she might as well make the most of it.

After her last operation, she was released from the hospital. While crossing the street on her way home, she was killed by an ambulance.

Arriving in front of God, she demanded, "I thought you said I had another40 years? Why didn't you pull me from out of the path of the ambulance?"

God replied,

"I didn't recognize you."
