Although it may seem like a never ending battle as the harder you try, you are still finding yourself in the same predicament, let it be known that I do understand what you are feeling and going through. This is the time to be mentally and physically strong, reevaluate and structure another plan of action and never quit or look down, for only they are other beneficiaries. So, look deep inside yourself and pull out that strength device on your pocket, the person you are and carried on. Do not let it be said that you were beaten by the whip of the pen but the straps of your soul.

P.S. An email sent to me years ago that still fittingly resonating today. By the way, I wonder if John’s number is still active.
