And don't pray when it rains, If you don't pray when the sun shines. Higher the goal, longer and more ardous the path. More endurance we can muster, more we can achieve. Many things we can change, and some things we must endure. We grow by our endurance.
Strength comes from adversity.
You cannot be beaten at anything, until you quit in your own mind. There is no defeat except from within. You have no really insurmountable barrier except your own inherent weakness of purpose. Consider yourself on a very long journey. Sustain your personal vision of success.
