Persisting with Bulldog Determination Pt.2 Tough Times Never Last - But Tough People Do. How would you like to see a permanent end to all of your problems? We all have problems and our problems only end - when we do. The only people without problems are in the cemetery. I d like to stick around problems and all. How about you? No matter what problems you have to face today, there is a solution, because you have nothing to deal with but your own thoughts. As long as you think that your destiny is in the hands of other people, the situation is hopeless. You will need to confront your problems with courage, boldness and action. There s an old Chinese saying that goes, "If you live with a problem long enough, it could eventually become a blessing." Within every adversity in life, there is always a seed of an equivalent or greater benefit. We have to look for it - find it - and act on it. We learn courage - when we face danger. We learn patience - when we endure suffering. We learn tenderness - when we taste pain. We learn to prize true friends when false ones forsake us. We treasure health - when illness strikes. We learn to prize freedom -when we are in danger of losing it. Without trouble we would be like plants that have sprouted, grown, and been nurtured in the overprotected shelter of a hothouse -- too tender ever to live in the open. How can you possibly become a strong person, if you have an easy life? The tougher it is, the tougher you have a chance to become if you choose to fight back. When you see a highly decorated military person all dressed up with rows of battle ribbons and awards on their chest, you are looking at someone who courageously faced and conquered danger, hardships, adversities, problems, life-threatening situations, torture, injury, and heartbreak, watching their buddies die terrible deaths. These people had fortitude - the ability to endure and last. They wouldn t quit, give up or run away. Yes there were times, I'm sure they knew, when they bit off more than they could chew, but through it all when there was doubt they ate it up and spit it out. The records show they took the blows and did it their way. We don t just get the sweet out of life without the bitter - we d like to, but we don t. The sun doesn t always shine; sometimes there are storms, tornadoes, earthquakes, car accidents, fires and death. No one escapes the problems of life. If it doesn t happen sooner in life, it will happen later. We can overcome just about any problem, obstacle, or adversity that life deals us if we have a strong enough will. Where there is a will, there is a way. Create a bull-dog determination and a burning desire, that will eventually mow down all opposition. Success is not measured by what a person accomplishes, but by the opposition they have encountered, and by the courage with which they have maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds. Don't pray for an easy life without problems. Pray to become a strong person. The higher you go in life, the more problems you will have to deal with. Here are the lyrics to one of the songs I wrote: Tough Times Never Last, But Tough People Do Words And Music By Rick Gettle ã 1988 Tough times never last - but tough people do. Tough people hold fast - they always come through. When others give up - start calling it quits Tough people hold up - and call on their wits Tough times never last - but tough people do. They're always steadfast - courageous and true. They keep hanging in - and somehow endure. Persistence my friend - is always the cure [The next part is spoken not sung] Friends - Are you going through some real tough times in your life right now? Are you thinking about quitting and giving up? Are you trying real hard but things keep getting worse? Are you thinking to yourself... is it ever gonna end - Will I ever find happiness, success or peace of mind in my life? What's wrong with me, why can't I make my life work? Well, let me ask you a question. Will quitting and giving up make things any better? You know the answer to that - You stop fighting and you're lost - It's all over. But if you hang in there and keep getting tougher, you just have to eventually win. Successful people aren't people without problems. They are people who kept on keeping on. We all have problems, and all problems can be solved. Don't pray for an easy life - just pray to be a tough person - You can do it.
