Keep Calm and Carry On

I usually find motivational posters and sayings dumb. Yet, I love this one.


I first learned of this saying eight or nine months ago, so I missed all the initial craziness and hype over it. A man from church sent an article on the origin of the statement. I thought the saying was perfect for how England endured the nine months straight of bombings in WWII. It's also utterly British in how they act.

Something about it connected with me. I look at the poster, and I'm given strength to continue. I know very strange, but I think about all that England endured with nine months of bombings. I reevaluate my life, and I realize that I can survive what is going on in my life right now. I've decided that it would be a good motto for this next year and possibly my life.

You do have the right to make fun of me for loving a motivational saying, but I will continue to have a love for this saying. And yes one day, I may own some copies of it.
