However long and hard the road may be!
(this was originally posted last week on an different blog, but I thought it would fit here making blogger my main blog)
I wanted to post a Quote on My personal information section, but it would not fit within the character limits that are placed there, so I will post it here.
"You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word: It is victory, victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival." Winston Churchill
This quote has been one that has had a Great impact on me. I think of the Obstacle that Winston Churchill faced, how unsurmountable they must have seemed, and then I think of the crap that I have to face in my life, and they are not comparable, but the power of those words are enough to make the difference.
"For without victory, there is no survival" I feel the weight of that Every day, as I am sure we all do. and yet failure is never the end, Churchill also said that "Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm. Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm. "success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm." some days I wish I could remember that, when nothing seems to be going right. these past two weeks for Example, it feels like the fates have conspired against me. I was in a car accident, I had stomach flu that lasted for about a week, I had an horrible case of depression(which is really odd because I NEVER get depressed), I broke the screen on my $300 cell phone, I am way behind on bills that I don't know were I am going to find the money for, and the girl that I was dating decided she needed to quit me cold turkey(yeah she just plain ignored me, no word why or what for, she was just gone).
All that doesn't matter though, because I am here, I am alive, and I can still create, and build and be an influence in someone life. or at least I hope that someone has been impacted by something I have done or created.
Even when things are piling up, and I feel like I really am the "Precarious Obviologist" that I have created here in cyber space, I think of the promise of the savior that he made to Paul, and to Ether in the book of Mormon, "Ether 12: 27: And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them."now the trick is to come to the lord, that is what I am still learning, I am happy to be doing what I am doing Even through all the crap, because one day I will not be going from "one failure to another" but will be going from a failure to a success, and all the "blood, toil, tears, and sweat" will have been worth it.
