Check back regularly, you can expect big news, and hopefully relief for other victims soon.
… you had to make the good out of the bad because there wasn’t anything else to make it out of …
- Robert Penn Warren, All the King’s Men
If by Rudyard Kipling:
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 wornout 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 breath 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!
Anyway, THANK YOU, Michael!
It’s empowering to read this. I, too, have decided that the lesson is detachment. Sometimes you fight your best fight by mentally detaching yourself from a senseless struggle. Once you have done all you can do, you can release the problem and allow God to the rest. I am confident that everything will right itself in the end. Many blessings to you.
The war will end:)
Michael,
You belong amongst Ghandi, Martin Luther King, Jr., Abraham Lincoln and Pastor Rick Warren. God bless!
