“Don’t Quit” – A Poem of Fitness, Fat-Loss and… LIFE!
You may remember – a few weeks ago – I mentioned I was finally able to realize a life-long dream… to have the freedom to work from home – FULL-TIME… – and I was sorting out some files from the office and came across a poem one of my former clients gave me…
It’s a great one – and I felt it would be perfect to post on the blog today – here it is…
Don’t Quit
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will…
When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill…
When the funds are low, and debts are high, and you want to smile but you have to sigh…
When care is pressing you down a bit, rest if you must, but don’t quit…
Life is strange with its twists and turns, as everyone of us sometimes learns, and may a failure turns about…
When he might have won had he stuck it out; Don’t give up though the pace seems slow, you may succeed with another blow…
Success is failure turned inside out – the silver tint of the clouds of doubt…
And you can never tell how close you are – it may be near when it seems so far…
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit – its when things seem worse…
…That You Must Not Quit
Great stuff, right? – Hey, I hope this helped lift you in some way – if you needed a lift – and if you know someone who can benefit from reading “Don’t Quit” – then please send them a link to this blog post – they’ll appreciate it…
And for anyone who missed the link to the powerful video in yesterday’s brief e-newsletter – here it is again: http://www.MetabolicInferno.com <= If you've ever been in a near fatal accident with your family in the car - you'll understand what my friend Rob went through when the tree nearly killed the three of them - the video says it all...

Thanks for sharing Joey. I have a best friend I have to send this link to. I have already raved and raved about you, but since she is getting her priorities back in line, this will be a great post for her to c/p and put on her desk to read before her lunch hour workout at the gym!
LOL and your Stair exercises are great for her since she always takes the stairs.

Hi Joey,
Thanks for the words of inspiration. I watched the video and that inspired me too.
But I was wondering what your opinion is of Rob Poulos program? He makes some pretty big claims. Any thoughts?
I’m 44yrs old, I’m 5ft tall and 75 lbs. I am needing to build my overall body ,but want instructions on building up my lower butt area, thigh and leg. I am also interested in any weight gain tricks. ( I let body get run down, recently being the caregiver for my Dad who had Cancer & passed away in May.) I’m on 10 billion Probiotics a day, that helps with absorbtion of nutrients that I wasn’t able to do on my own, I did not have the good bacteria that grabs nutrients for the body.
Joey,
I love the poem “Don’t Quit” .
I have had that poem hanging in my home for years, it is perfect for an everyday reminder.
great poem, will pass on to family and friends
Joey,
All of your articles are awesome..the upper body and lower body exercises are incredible and you can feel them working while performing them. Thank you for being there for us.
It is a good & encourage poem which talk about the strugling of life and how survival can come from the staf we do.
Thanks for your artistic job!
