Hold up, hold fast until you win.

IT IS NOT OVER UNTIL YOU WIN.

The reality of life can be harsher than the expectations you look forward to, you can be in cruise control of your life, you can be so sure that you will get to the end of the road as though you were skating smoothly on ice, and just in a blink of an eye, you are struggling to get back on your feet, you are struggling to find your way back, and all you would wish for is recovery.

Sometimes, you are ahead in life not because you are better than others, or because you were the most skilled in whatever you do, but because you took advantage of an opportunity that was presented to you. You should not take those advantages for granted, neither should you relent in your strides towards a victorious end.

When you are behind, when everything is going against you, despite all the efforts you are putting into everything you are doing, when it seems all your efforts are being flushed down the drain, never let go, never give in to the pressure around, never let the unpleasant results weigh you down. Look beyond the current situation, and keep working towards the result you want.

It is never over until it is over, even if the statistics, the projections, and the odds are against you, never back down. Always look to the skies, always find a way to stand up when you fall, keep a positive mindset, and with your unrelenting efforts, you will see the results turning around in your favour. Whatever happens, ahead or behind, never relent, never look back until you win.
