After your courage and energy are completely gone, the next step is the direct face of God.
Sticky situations are never pleasant, remember time keeps ticking and it will be over soon, have courage endure it! Also wonderful moments are passing you by everyday, take time to notice them and enjoy!
I didn't feel good today- little things here and there- but that's the nature of this game. You just keep pushing, being mentally and physically ready. Some days are better than others, but even if you don't feel so good, you get yourself going.
When I was trying to popularize the concept of the Internet -- ten or 15 years ago -- I came up with this concept of "the 5 Cs." Services needed to have content, context, community, commerce, and connectivity. After that, when I was trying to think of what the key management principles were to build into the culture, I started talking about the Ps. The P's were things like passion, perseverance, perspective and people. I think the people aspect is really the most important one.
Everything works out in the end. If it's not worked out, it's not the end
Even falling flat on your face is still moving forward.
We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.
In the end, all we have is the effort we've made to be the best we can be, in mind, body and in spiritual practices. I encourage you to make that longer trip.

Now remember: When things look bad and it looks like you're not gonna make it, then you gotta get mean. I mean plumb mad-dog mean. 'Cause if you lose your head and give up then you neither live nor win. That's just the way it is.
--from The Outlaw Josey Wales
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream -- and not make dreams your master;
If you can think -- and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings -- nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And -- which is more -- you'll be a Man, my son!
Persistence Persistence Persistence. With the wind kissing my face and the ground supplying the grace / There is very little to impede the need. The need to succeed / Standing alone I discovered the reason for heart / For there stood the enemy. Wishing to stop me before I start / They will hold your ankles. Pull you down by the wrists / They will kick, bite, and push. They will-will resist / With little life left to see. Steady came my plea / For as long as I am me. I will-will persist
To the stars through difficulties or Ad astra per ardua
All your life you are told the things you cannot do. All your life they will say you're not good enough or strong enough or talented enough; they will say you're the wrong height or the wrong weight or the wrong type to play this or be this or achieve this. They will tell you no, a thousand times no, until all the no's become meaningless. All your life they will tell you no, quite firmly and very quickly. And you will tell them yes.
The same rain that wears down stone, can refresh each of us.
It took Einstein ten years of groping through the fog to get the theory of special relativity, and he was a bright guy.
You must maintain unwavering faith that you can and will prevail in the end, regardless of the difficulties, AND at the same time, have the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.
Courage and perseverance have a magical talisman, before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish into air.
Spring passes and one remembers one's innocence Summer passes and one remembers one's exuberance Autumn passes and one remembers one's reverence Winter passes and one remembers one's perseverance.
Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after another.
I think that you appreciate that there are extraordinary men and women, and extraordinary moments when history leaps forward on the backs of these individuals. That what can be imagined, can be achieved. That you must dare to dream, but that there is no substitute for perseverance and hard work, and team work, because no one gets there alone. And that while we commemorate the greatness of these events and the individuals who achieve them, we cannot forget the sacrifice of those who make these achievements and leaps possible.
Patience and perseverance surmount every difficulty.
Entrepreneurs don't give up easily. When they're successful, this is called "perseverance." Before they succeed, or if they fail, it's called "stubborn," "bullheaded," "arrogant," or "foolish."
To every obstacle oppose patience, perseverance and soothing language.
Send the harmony of a Great Desire vibrating through every fiber of your being. Pray for a task that will call forth your faith, your courage, your perseverance, and your spirit of sacrifice. Keep your hands and your soul clean, and the conquering current will flow freely.
Energy and perseverance can fit a man for almost any kind of position.
Perseverance is the most overrated of traits, if it is unaccompanied by talent; beating your head against a wall is more likely to produce a concussion in the head than a hole in the wall.
Great works are performed, not by strength, but by perseverance.
The necessity of the times, more than ever, calls for our utmost circumspection, deliberation, fortitude, and perseverance.
