there is a world of difference in trying your best and going through the motions when you’re faced with a test

if you have given it your best shot that’s all you can do, so pack it up

disappointed is to be expected when less than was desired was achieved, but that’s a long way from disgusted because you held back and didn’t put it all on the table

commitment is rare and noble, determination decides who gets the kiss

but when the writing is on the wall and your mind and body have ceased to resist there are times surrender is the correct answer and peace is knowing the difference between giving in and giving up………………………………………… peace is knowing when to quit
