In order to have what you want....

Often people attempt to live their lives backwards; they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want, so they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then do what you need to do, in order to have what you want."

~Margaret Young

You must not quit....

Sarah Kaye Photography

When things go wrong as they sometimes will, When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill, 

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

And many a failure turns about, When he might have won had he stuck it out. 

Don’t give up though the pace seems slow—You may succeed with another blow, 

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 so far; 

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