The road to you is long, and I've been on it for a while.

At fifty-four, I am still in progress, and I hope that I always will be.

I've been through a lot," . "It's been a tough journey.

It's taken me 30 years to get this way, and I don't intend to let go. I work hard, but I play hard, too, and that's the one part of me that nobody sees. But I intend to be around for a long time yet.

You carry on no matter what are the obstacles. You simply refuse to give up - and, when the going gets tough, you get tougher. And, you win.

I'm going to keep going until I succeed — or die. Don't think I don't know how this might end. I've known it for years.

I worked really hard, maybe too hard, but it felt like there was an unstoppable momentum behind me that carried me on no matter how exhausted I was, that drove me through any kind of setback.

English: "Through and despite everything, we're still going"

i am not fully healed
i am not fully wise
i am still on my way
what matters is that
i am still moving forward

I still live.

I still live.

The struggles I'm facing, the chances I'm taking.
Sometimes they knock me down, but, no, I'm not breaking.
I may not know it, but these are the moments
I am going to remember most, just got to keep going.

Just because the road ahead is long, is no reason to slow down. Just because there is much work to be done, is no reason to get discouraged. It is a reason to get started, to grow, to find new ways, to reach within yourself and discover strength, commitment, determination, discipline. The road ahead is long and difficult, and filled with opportunity at every turn. Start what needs starting. Finish what needs finishing. Get on the road. Stay on the road. Get on with the work. Right now you’re at the beginning of the journey. What a great place to be! Just imagine all the things you’ll learn, all the people you’ll meet, all the experiences you’ll have. Be thankful that the road is long and challenging, because that is where you’ll find the best that life has to offer.

I don't know where it's going, but I'm sticking with it!
