Don't Stop, Don't Give Up


I'm wrapping up this round of edits on my resume reel and the computer won't export the file. Can you say ANGRY ? I found multiple jobs that I think fit exactly what Id like to do but I have to submit a reel to be considered, w/o the file exporting the reel cant be completed. Its like finishing something you put so much work into then at the very end the computer crashes ... I'm like really? In real life? Then I needed to use FCP (Final Cut Pro) to bring all the clips together but only have access to adobe premiere (long story) ... blah blah blah I'm not in the business of complaints but results! 

My first thought was FORGET IT ... I'll finish it tomorrow. While I'm off being angry at the computer, my competition is working. While I'm complaining about whats not going right , someone else is applying. This little baby sums it up perfectly.  :-) She made my day ! 

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,

When the 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 fellow turns about
When he might have won had he 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 came down,
How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out -
The silver tint in the clouds of doubt,

And you never can tell how close you are,
It might be near when it seems afar;

So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

Hi I'm Shekinah- The Motivator ... George Bernard Shaw Life Motto

 Hey I'm Shekinah (Shu Ki nah)  :-) ... the Motivator 


I decided to start a blog because in my own pursuits of dreams and goals and just life period I find myself in need of motivation or encouragement of some kind. I scan Facebook, feverishly watch videos on YouTube, have convos with friends, Google all kinds of things ... whatever necessary to get me going. A couple years ago I started sending "monday motivations" to friends and loved ones and I thoroughly ENJOY it.  I want to share the wealth .
I refuse to be alive, suck up air on this earth and not make a difference, or affect change of any kind. Its my belief that EVERY life has a purpose and I want to fulfill mine and I'd like to encourage YOU to fulfills yours. Life is a grand opportunity!

 The motto I live by is EXACTLY summed up by George Bernard Shaw when he says: 

This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.

I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community, and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can.

I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no "brief candle" for me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.
George Bernard Shaw
