“I don't back down, and I don't stand down. “

Words from the Down Game, is the spirit of perseverance that release the power of boldness when facing challenges that enables the individual to achieve success.

The “Down” Game

There is a game in life, called “Down.”  If you play it, you will lose.

I don’t play the “Down” game. 

When I am told, I will lose, I say, I will win!

When I am told I can’t succeed, I say, I will.  

If I am told to stop! I proceed, I persevere!

When I am confronted with difficulties, I endure.

I won’t play this game of control!

I don't back down, and I don't stand down.

I won’t bow down for anyone.

I won’t play the “Down” game!

I am prepared to win, and not for shame.

*The way out of any bad situation is to never give up.

Hope is My Friend

Hope is a friend, who never fails me. When I am in need, it allows me to know I can succeed.

When the way ahead of me, is obscured with clouds of disappointments Hope goes before me, and shines the light to see my way clear.

When I need courage, hope pushes me ahead with the strength I need to persevere, and let me know, there is no need to fear. In times of doubt, hope tells me I can, because it is here.

Hope gives me determination, and strength to believe in myself that I can do whatever I desire. I am inspired to know, that regardless of the situation

and wherever the location, or destination, I have hope.

 Hope is my friend, who will always be with me, to the end.

“Hope is the foundation for which all successful goals are built upon.”
