Never give up; you never know until you try.
I passed this bit of advice on to a student this week. I heard it years ago and use if often, even reminding myself that it's true. A task may seem insurmountable--hard, disgusting, too time-consuming; but if we concentrate on just one small part of it, a spoonful if you will, then we'll eventually get it done.
I'm currently consuming several elephants at the moment, one spoonful at a time.
Dig in, everyone!!
This is to encourage people to dare to dream, because you never know until you try; to face adversity, which we all face in one form or another, and keep on keepin' on; to do what they can and allow God to do what they can't.
The Serenity Prayer
This prayer, often repeated, is an originally untitled prayer by theologian Reinhold Niebuhr. It makes great sense to me, and whether you believe in God or not, I think it's a smart idea.
God, grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
The courage to change the things I can;
And the wisdom to know the difference
God, grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
The courage to change the things I can;
And the wisdom to know the difference
