Crossing a Finish Line is Rarely by Accident. Never Give Up!

Never Give Up!

You cannot accomplish much in this life without first failing, faltering or falling flat-on-your-face at least a few times.

Beginning a task takes courage, finishing a task takes work. Attempting to accomplish something significant will most certainly make you vulnerable to peril. Risking that danger means greater chance of falling; of failing. It is natural to falter at these possibilities of disappointment. And when you decide to move on in spite of your fears, it is likely that you will fall somewhere along the way, and that you will need to pull yourself  back up in order to finish the task -- Crossing a finish line is rarely by accident.

I am so thankful that although falling, faltering and failing are an inevitable part of the process, they need not be the end result.
