I was listening to an evangelist talk about the workout her personal trainer was putting her through. It was five cycles in a circuit of exercises for 30 minutes, no breaks. She told him right of the bat that she didn’t think she could do this, “I am 50+” she proclaimed, but that didn’t stop him and they pushed on. At the end of the fourth of the five circuits she proclaimed she was done and couldn’t possibly do the last circuit. Her trainer’s reply was something like that’s fine if you want to quite now. Quite!!! She didn’t like that word much and she stubbornly finished the last circuit. She was shaky, sweaty and tired and felt wonderful for finishing what she started. Do you know how many people are unsatisfied in life because they never finished what they started, stopping short just because of a set-back, money, illness, etc… and just gave up. Don’t give up, stopping just short of your goal or your dream, keep going, fight on and enjoy your victory.
