Life is like a pocketful of spare change. Bits and pieces that you've picked up along the way, that while seemingly trivial, you can't afford to lose.

If everyone gave what they could spare to change the world. There'd be change to spare.

Persistence

At the first sign of trouble,
The man didn’t flinch.
He simply moved forward.

At the second sign of trouble,
The man didn’t grimace.
He simply looked onward.

At the third sign of trouble,
The man didn’t cry.
He simply searched inward.

What did the man find?
Did he like what he saw?
Did he have a secret
To overcome all?

He found inside,
A spirit that said.
Hey buddy, chin-up,
At least you’re not dead.
