Jane Tomlin - Don't Quit

When you take on a challenge
it is a test of your ability and willpower.
When you fail it is a test of your determination
and persistence.
When you get tired of failure you stand up tall
and turn yourself around.
Charting the stars, mapping your destiny, the route to achievement.

Ambition
Persistence
Denial
Ecstasy
Thrill of Danger
Disappointment

It can be difficult to force yourself on and gain the motivation to continue.
But it’s less painful when there’s somebody else behind you and beside you urging you on.
This spirit for adventure provides a sense of belonging with others.

There is no accomplishment without sacrifice
There is no success without disappointment
There is no teamwork without arguments
There is no achievement without pain.

When tears start to stream and you can’t hold them back, look to your companions to help you fight your doubtful heart.

When hope fades from reaching journey’s end
When with every step you stumble
When with every dropp of rain falling you bleed
And with every cold wind you tremble.

Look to the stars and look in the faces of those who have stood by you and been your guardian and try to tell them
I Quit.
When emotion takes its grip, when pain overcomes and when sleep creeps in never say
That’s It.

Jane Tomlin
