You needn't be a quitter! You can't be a quitter and also be a winner.
Life is full of challenges meant to strengthen you in ways you can't imagine. Yes, to strengthen you for higher challenges and results.
If there's no obstacle, there's no victory or celebration. The tougher the troubles people throw your way, the sweeter your laughter and victory dance is going to be.
Here are a few tips on how to hold on through tough times:
SHAKE UP YOUR ATTITUDE
View problems as OPPORTUNITIES you need to overcome to get you where you ought to be. They're necessary to sharpen you. Is there anyone you know in this world who is problem-free? Name them.
PLAY ALONG
When it is sorrow time, go with the flow and cry...and cry to your heart's content. It has healing power.
There's a season for all things. A time to be born and a time to die. A time to be happy and a time to be sad. So what if your marriage isn't working or your friends have deserted and betrayed you, or your parents aren't supportive or you've just lost your job? So what if you're a victim of war, abuse or accident!
Take it from me, it isn't the end of the world, it may be a whole new beginning!
TAKE ACTION
Do something, take a step closer to your goal. Get help. Take it from me, it isn't the end of the world. Pray for wisdom, take time to reflect and learn. Life is a teacher, so be an excellent student!
MODERATION
Remember to do all things in moderation. There's nothing happening to you that is new. Other men and women have walked this path before you. Some won and others lost. What group do you want to belong to?
HOPE
Hope for tomorrow is enough to keep you going until you achieve your goal(s). It is a good habit to read autobiography of successful people. Many many successful people experienced challenges that threatened to break them, but they never gave up.
A FRESH START
You can rewrite your story by God's grace. Make a new start and learn the virtues of patience, tolerance, diligence and in due time, you'll have a great story to tell.
Today's worry is tomorrow's history. Don't give up. Here's a popular quote; "Tough times don't last, tough people do".

Thanks for the inspiring words. My dad always had a saying for the tough times. 'This too shall pass'. I have always lived by his wisdom when things get difficult. I think a positive attitude is so important in life. It is what has helped me to achieve my own dreams. I am most definitely not a quitter!
Thanks for the wonderful post. <3
"This too shall pass" is an inspiring phrase, Danielle. Thanks for sharing your dad's wise words. I'll adopt the phrase.
You can't beat a positive attitude. So good to know you're not a quitter. I'm in the winners camp. Lol!
Danielle, I appreciate your stopping by to leave such a soul-lifting response. Hugs xxx
