When all hope is gone!

Is there a place in life that is just hopeless?

• Short answer - No!
• Long answer - NO!
• There is never a place from which you cannot recover, except death...you ain't dead yet!
• I'm too old...I'm too young...I'm not educated...I'm too poor.
• NONE of these, no, not even one is legitimate!

“You Are Never Too Old To Set Another Goal Or To Dream A New Dream.” – C.S. Lewis

You, only you can break those handcuffs of doubt and despair. You are the one who must take that first step in the new direction.

There is no such thing as an impossible situation. I remember a sign we had in an airport hangar where I worked as an airplane mechanic and pilot.
"The hard things we do immediately...the impossible may take a day longer".

Today, yes today, the new journey begins.

I will walk where I have never walked. I will go where I have never been. I will reach new heights that I have never reached. I will write like I have never written. I have a new fresh breath of air...I am done with the past. Everything is new!

Poem by Edgar A. Guest:

"Because it rains when we wish it wouldn't,

Because men do what they often shouldn't,

Because crops fail, and plans go wrong

Some of us grumble all day long.

But somehow, in spite of the care and doubt,

It seems at last that things work out.

Because we lose where we hoped to gain,

Because we suffer a little pain,

Because we must work when we'd like to play

Some of us whimper along life's way.

But somehow, as day always follows the night,

Most of our troubles work out all right.

Because we cannot forever smile,

Because we must trudge in t he dust awhile,

Because we think that the way is long,

Sometimes we whimper that life's all wrong.

But somehow we live and our sky grows bright,

And everything seems to work out all right.

So bend to your trouble and meet your care,

For the clouds mus break, and the sky grow fair.

Let the rain come down, as it must and will,

But keep on working and hoping still.

For in spite of the grumblers who stand about,

Somehow, it seems, all things work out".

This too shall pass.
