Don't Quit

I love synchronicities. They feel like signs from God/the Universe that are saying "Hey, I'm listening to the very thoughts of your heart."

In case you're not familiar with the term, synchronicity is a concept first coined by psychiatrist Carl Jung to describe events that seem meaningfully related yet have no causal relationship. For example, you're thinking of a song you haven't heard in eons, and moments later when you jump in the car and turn on your radio, that exact song is playing.

Well, just yesterday I was thinking about the poem "Don't Quit," which I read for the first time about 15 years ago. I was actually going to search for it to post on my blog, but then became distracted by other things I needed to do.

Today I'm reading an online article about some new scientific breakthrough that promises to change lives, and in the related posts section at the very end of the article there's a link to the "Don't Quit" poem. How very cool. Especially, since I'm not all certain how it ranked as being related to the article I was reading. Even cooler... I click on the link and it takes me to a beautifully produced video featuring the poem. Every image and the music seem to perfectly represent the poet's intent.

So, if by chance 2016 isn't starting off quite as you had hoped, or maybe you just need a little extra push to keep those resolutions, watch this video and be inspired. Keep tissue handy.
