Finish each day and be done with it.
You have done what you could;

to be encumbered with your old nonsense.

If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you don't.
If you'd like to win, but think you can't

But soon or late the man who wins is the one who thinks he can.

There is a fine line between perseverance and insanity.
At what point have you tried your best,
and it's time to do something different?

as soon as something gets difficult,
your life won't work,
but if you keep tilting at windmills -
madly trying the same thing again and again,
your life also won't work.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

I am but a grain of sand on the beach of life.
