Are you a little bit discouraged right now because you have tried and tried and still haven't achieved your dreams?

If so, please don't be. Worthwhile goals and aspirations will always take time to accomplish.

It took Abraham Lincoln 30 years to achieve his dream of becoming the President of the United States.

Although he faced countless insurmountable obstacles, he did not give up. He didn't quit.

While it may seem impossible for you to overcome your current challenges or problems,promise yourself that you will NOT give up.

We trust that President's Lincoln's road map to the White House has inspired you to hold onto your dreams when

the going gets tough, and to keep working on them until you've turned them into reality.

Here are two fabulous quotations by this great man to motivate you to persist until you've achieved your goals:

"The sense of obligation to continue
is present in all of us. A duty to strive
is the duty of us all. I felt a call to that duty."

"The path was worn and slippery.
My foot slipped from under me,
knocking the other out of the way,
but I recovered and said to myself,
It's a slip and not a fall."

These two quotations are very inspiring, aren't they?
