“If you’re going through hell, keep going”
Winston Churchill
It’s a great clique to turn to Churchill for inspiration,
especially when you’re going through some battles. The man certainly knew how
to spin a phrase and spur a crowd. Include this to his World War Two credentials and you're always going to be on to a winner. I've almost been avoiding using him in this
feature on the very basis that it’s too much of an easy option. Finally, however, I
relented.
You may not like Churchill, and his politics. Frankly I’m not
much of a fan. I'll spare you the history lesson. But no one can deny that he
knew how to push on, for better or worse, when everything, and everyone, stood
against him.
This quote encourages me to push on through struggle, so
that I can get to the other side. I’m
reminded that if you’re going through hell, and you stop, then hell is exactly
where you’ll stay. If you ever want to get somewhere better, you have to
keep going.
Everybody goes through tough times. Whether that's in your past, present or future. Don't give in to it, because you can beat it. Great people are remembered for what struggles they overcome, not for giving up.
