This is an inspirational poem about life.

Searching for Life's Meaning

Thinking

Feeling

Looking in

Searching for life’s meaning

Sensing

Savoring

Reflecting

With my heart’s deep longing

Experiencing

Analyzing

Evaluating

Searching never ends

Life’s twists and turns

Expecting the unexpected

Go with the stream of life

In this searching shall I find

Sense of belonging

Committing oneself for a cause

So everything would make sense

With this search to subside

Signs what I need

Listening to my heart’s hunches

With my greater reality’s call being considered

Obedience in my searching for self-fulfillment

In my searching, I heartily found

Found yet unfound

Things seem confusing, course of events seem changing

Hope in my searching, I will finally find God’s special plan for me.

Inspirational Poem By John Greenleaf Whittier | Don't Quit

Let us keep going, never giving up on life! jpco

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,

When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,

When funds are low and the debts are high,

And you want to smile but you have to sigh,

When care is pressing you down a bit,

Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,

As every one of us sometimes learns,

And many a failure turns about,

When he might have won if he'd stuck it out.

Don't give up, though the pace seems slow -

You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than

It seems to a faint and faltering man;

Often the struggler has given up

When he might have captured the victor's cup,

And he learned too late, when the night slipped down,

How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out -

The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,

And you never can tell how close you are -

It may be near when it seems afar;

So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -

It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.

Do It Anyway Poem | By Mother Teresa

DO IT ANYWAY

By Mother Teresa

People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. 

Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. 

Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. 

Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. 

Be honest and sincere anyway.

What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. 

Create anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous.

Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, will often be forgotten.

Do good anyway.

Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. 

Give your best anyway.

In the final analysis, it is between you and God.

It was never between you and them anyway.
