Never Give Up!

Yesterday, I received an email about never giving up that struck a chord with me. The person who wrote the email told me a story about a volleyball coach whose team was losing 0-2 and decided to quit coaching the rest of the game. For anyone who plays volleyball, trailing by two points is not a big deal, however this coach took the easy way out and quit on her players.

Then, the person telling the story included a quote from Winston Churchill: "Never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never--in nothing great or small, large or petty---never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense. Never yield to force: never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy."

I found this quote inspirational because sometimes, I intimately know how that feeling of wanting to quit creeps up on you when you're exhausted, frustrated, and on the verge of pulling every last hair follicle from your skull. But I implore you to keep searching, reaching, and adjusting until you find some way to realize your goal in a way that you are thoroughly satisfied and/or fulfilled. Mahalo! Hope you are inspired today.
