Don't stay in the pits - fight to get out.
In life, we all have seasons. Seasons of success and seasons of failure. Seasons where everything is going right, and seasons where everything seems to be falling apart. When you find yourself in the pits where everything is falling apart don't stay there.
Recently I have felt the pain of being in the pits. Ole Arthur (arthritis) has attacked my hip. The last few weeks I have had to cease from doing too much and take too many pills; feel like a drugstore has invaded my home. It's easy to lose hope right now but I am not going to quit, I am going to battle this with every ounce of strength and endurance I can muster.
I have witnessed a lot of time in the pits with my training and with my websites; where it seems like I might as well just give up and quit, maybe move on to something else. By the way, my ranking is good but my choo-choo train to success has not left the station yet.
Yes indeed, there is a lot of hope in following the training and all the help anyone could need here at WA. But it is not a cruise through the park. You have to be willing to get in the battle, to fight against failure. To never give up trying no matter how many times you fail.
Thomas Edison wrote, “I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.” “Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.”
"To fight the good fight is to do the right thing and to try to get others to do the same... Someone who is fighting the good fight is working tirelessly to try and make good choices and help others. This person wants to improve the world around him." (https://writingexplained.org/idiom-dictionary/fight-the-good...)
I hope that this day brings you feelings of success, but if it doesn't... Don't give up hope on that dream that brought you to this great community.

Thanks Ray,
I am working to stay out of the pits - it is not easy, however the rewards will be so worthwhile.
