“If I quit now, I will be back to where I started, and when I started I was desperately wishing to be where I am now.” – Unknown
Before we get into just how amazing this motivational quote is, I just wanted to say that I’m going to start the Quotes of the Day tradition back up again. At least four days a week, a great quote or quote graphic will be published on Self Help Daily. I’m not sure why I stopped doing these, to be honest, but I have a feeling it had something to do with “life happening.”
That and the fact that I have a large family, home-based web publishing business, and 7 other blogs to maintain and write for. Plus, baseball pretty much consumes me from April to October.
I will do better. I promise.
I am obsessed with quotes – always have been. I’ve had a love affair with words since I first learned to speak them many moons (and suns) ago. This particular quote is a favorite and, I’m not going to lie, is one I’ve often challenged or reprimanded myself with.
We all have times in life when we just want to quit. The struggle we face or the path we’re on just seems too difficult. The “pay off” doesn’t come as quickly as we’d expected or we question if the “pay off” will even be worth the struggle.
People who are trying to eat healthier, exercise more, or complete their college studies are prime victims for the “I think I’m going to Quit” bug. If you fall into this group (or an entirely different one for that matter), I hope you’ll remember this wonderful quote because it is absolutely 110 percent true. There was a time you’d have LOVED to be where you are now. So you know what that means… keep going!
