If you're going through hell, keep going!

“If you're going through hell, keep going!”
--Winston Churchill, Prime Minister of England during WWII

We all have good days and bad days, sometimes even good years and bad years. Here’s the thing--If today is not one of the good days, don’t give up, and don’t get stuck in the negative. Continue doing what you know is right and what is necessary to get you through today, because on the other side is a better day.

Years ago, I was reading men’s action novels. In one of them, the hero had been taken prisoner and was beaten very badly. After this, he was locked in a cell, to be interrogated later. There was a mirror in the cell. He was looking at his black and blue and bloody face in the mirror and he smiled. Why? Because he was still alive and that meant he still had a chance. Of course, he escaped and completed his mission, but what stuck with me was that he was able to smile because he could see past the hell that he was in, which drove him to keep going.

Now go take on the day!
Peace, out.
