When life is difficult and things aren't going your way, it is so easy to give up. You may be working toward a goal, or trying to accomplish something, but every which way you turn everything seems to turn against you. It's as if there is one obstacle after another getting in your way. Realize like the ocean, there is ebb and flow in the tide of human existence. When you become so frustrated and can't hold on a minute longer, never give up. The tide will soon turn.
