When the going gets tough



Concentration levels are falling by the day and depression levels are rising by the day.I am searching frantically to get some paltry support and inspiration from the dear ones around me.But sadly fail to find any.All I find is criticism,disbelief and discouragement.This may be one of the most trying times of the 2 decades seen by me.Going through absolute lack of focus and boredom even after self abnegating myself from every act of hedonism
Sometimes it feels as though the whole world is plotting against you .Simple steps are feeling like burning coal .Probably this is that very period of my life. Everyday seems to be a battle with myself ,a battle to channelize my energy into one force ,a battle to forget past failures and rise up to the occasion ,a battle to sustain high levels of self belief and avoid quitting ,come what may! It makes me remember of an old classic -

Don't Quit
(one of the old classic motivational poem)
When things go wrong as they sometimes will;
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill;
When the funds are low and 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.

Accepting the challenge and fighting against all odds is the trait of a true fighter .I will not give up ,my dream is my passion and I cherish it .I will give everything that is required to guard it .I will not go down without a fight!
This is an extract from the hour long speech by Jessie Owens

 (World famous Athlete) on winning his first Gold
 medal in the Olympics

 " To those of you who laughed at me, thank you.
 Without you I wouldn't have cried.

 To those of you who just couldn't love me, thank
 you. Without you I wouldn't have known real love.

 To those of you who hurt my feelings, thank you.
 Without you I wouldn't have felt them.

 To those of you who left me lonely, thank you.
 Without you I wouldn't have discovered myself.

 But it is to those of you who thought I couldn't do
 it. It is you I thank the most,
 because without you I wouldn't have tried."
