Encouraging Quotes for Tough Times

How many times have we witnessed people (and ourselves) facing challenges who" throw up their hands" and decide to do nothing. It happens all of the time-whether it is the challenge of losing weight, starting and continuing an exercise program, dealing with a difficult child, or for that matter dealing with a difficult employee.
