Some Random Words of Encouragement
This topic was created in the Leo forum by Amjaro on Thursday, February 28, 2013 and has 4 replies.
One of my Leo sisters recently posted a FB status update saying:
"I give up on everything.
Fuck it all."
My response: "Nope. Not an option. ::Hugs::"

If any of you dear lions have recently experienced--or, are experiencing--a "fuck it" time in your life, I extend the same words to you.
Giving up is not an option. Life chips away at your armor sometimes, and being in crisis can really break down your confidence and will. Just remember, though: you've got friends, you're got people who care about you, even if it doesn't always seem that way. Life may suck right now, but it won't always be that way. You've got the sheer optimism and determination to survive anything. I know it. :-)

Really.. really needed this.
A thousand hugs

Y'all are welcome (and to Gandalf: hell yeah! :-p). Glad to hear that these words are helpful to you. ::More hugs::
@Seraph: thank you for the video. I have noticed it posted by you in the past, but honestly didn't take the time to read/listen until you posted it here. There is one part of the poem, in particular, that I would like to include in this topic for everyone to read:
"I was not delivered unto this world in defeat,
nor does failure course in my veins. I am not a
sheep waiting to be prodded by my shepherd. I
am a lion and I refuse to talk, to walk, to sleep
with the sheep. I will hear not those who weep
and complain, for their disease is contagious. Let
them join the sheep. The slaughterhouse of failure
is not my destiny.
I will persist until I succeed."

I have also been experiencing a difficult period in my life. Trying to improve myself, to be a greater person, but encountering significant obstacles along the way (one big obstacle: unemployment). Most days are okay, but occasionally, I have "that" day where I'm suddenly retreating into what I call my dark place. Not a "bad" place, but certainly a reminder that there is still a lot to do and consider. During those dark days, I lose my shield and my patience, and think: "I can't continue fighting". But no, I'm still fighting, still virtuous, still persistent.
After one of my recent dark days, I stubbornly declared--
"I refuse to believe that I am not destined for greatness--in work, in love, in life.
Hardship... I've had quite enough. I am determined, more than ever, to reach that long-awaited era of prosperity."

Keep at it, dear lions. I believe that you, of all people, certainly have that unique strength, determination, and optimism. You *must* persist until you succeed. :-)
