When You Feel Like Quitting

Dec30

Overwork

My life is in the darkest of darkest valleys.
At the moment I search for a means of escape
From this grip of reality but for a while.
It’s been ages since I had a hint of a smile
On my face. My life is in deplorable shape.
Why is it that life has brought me to my damned knees?

Beautiful things can come from my broken pieces.
I can give those shards the chance to turn me around,
It’s okay to be scared and it’s okay to cry
But I can’t quit. I have to give it my best try
Until some powerful breaking point can be found
And my will to continue my quest increases.

Everything that I’m going through is preparing
Me for what I have asked for. It’s in the process
Of becoming. I need to get out of the way
Of it coming and put confidence on display
With my person and focus on my happiness.
My work is in the area of self-caring.

I may not see it now but on the other side
Of this current dilemma I’ll see exactly
Why it had to go this way. What I have is hope
Which is all I need in order for me to cope.
I can know that the process exists to help me
To be with this most fettered life more satisfied.

The Power Of Your Why

Colorful Questioning

When you’re ready to quit you must ask yourself why
You decided to do it. Therein lies the key
To continuing through it. Remember why you
Chose to take on this thing. It’s because you want to
Be your best. Any pain you endure happily.
Just keep asking the question when things go awry.

Why you need your why is because it will give you
The advantage you need to get past the despair
That you feel during tough times. The pain doesn’t last
For a long time. Your why will help you to get past
Disillusionment. Asking why makes you aware
Of your purpose in doing what you want to do.

Don’t ask questions that you or no one can answer
And don’t look outside yourself for information.
Go within and ask why you are feeling the way
That you do. You know well the answer, so to stay
Optimistic in your quest is easily done
When you keep yourself focused on what you prefer.

Life is not always easy. The question is how
Will you respond in those moments of frustration.
There will be seasons of suffering and dismay
But with your perseverance in life you will stay
In the running. Your life is your own creation.
There’s no limit to what you can do here and now.
