Hey fellow blogger’s, I hope this short poem from a dead President is as inspiring for you to keep writing as much as it has been an inspiration for me over the years.   Life can be a meat grinder sometimes and it’s good to know your not the only one in the fight.

“The Man in the Arena”

“It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly…who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at best, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”

Theodore Roosevelt, 1910

Have a great day, and press on!
