Spark of week 1: Keep on trying!

Hi everyone! I hope you are doing well. It is time for our very first spark of the week. A weekly post series where I post a thoughtful quote, reflection, or thought submitted by a teen along with some words of reflection from myself, encouraging us all to think about it! Please click here to review the guidelines for submission. 

This week’s spark is from @savannahBlanchard35762

"Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all." Dale Carnegie

Thank you for this beautiful quote! We all have something going on in life where there seems little hope, it can feel gloomy and it can sometimes feel hopeless but there is usually a light at the end of the tunnel even if the tunnel goes on for a lot longer than expected. 

This does not mean that your challenges or your pain are not valid. It is but it helps to know that there is hope, it can get better and the greats of this world have felt similar if not the same at some point in their lives. 

Questions for you

1. What comes to mind when you read the shared quote?
2. You can also share quotes with the same message as our spark of the week!

Note: Please keep the comments light-hearted, and avoid sharing content that can be triggering to others or disrupt the light-hearted theme of the series.
