If you want others to be happy,
practice compassion.
If you want to be happy,
practice compassion.

When you’re setting goals this year,
and reflecting on the past year,
don’t get down on yourself for the
goals you did not accomplish.

Instead – think of merely shifting your
DEADLINE for reaching them.

And – print out the following and
keep it in front of you all year long.

It’s one of my FAVORITE Quotes
and has inspired me to get through
when times got tough.

I trust it will do the same for you too
in 2008 AND 2018!

DO NOT QUIT!
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.

Life is strange with its twists and turns,
As every one of us often learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When she might have won if she’d stuck it out.
Don’t give up, though the pace seems slow
You may succeed with just one more blow.

Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering man;
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor’s cup,
And he learned too late, when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar,
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit,
It’s when things go wrong
That you must not quit.”

Happy New Year!
Happy 2008
and
Happy 2018

Remember – it’s the LONG haul that is most important when setting your New Year’s Resolutions!
