Keep Pressing On (Poem)

Deep meaning and great advice, Josh! How many times have you heard, "If it was easy, everyone would be doing it!" It's only those who do as you've stated (and demonstrated) that succeed.

Great Read!

An uplifting hub! I totally agree with every line you wrote. Life is not a complete bed of roses and one have to bravely tread on a thorn (problem) so that one climbs one's way to success and happiness! Also we have to care for our loved ones and appreciate them for being there with us through thick and thin. HubPages is indeed a friendly community full of encouraging fellow-writers. I established camaraderie with most of my fellow-hubbers. I am here only because of my supportive fellow-hubber-friends! Your tribute at the end of your fetching poem is befitting! Well-done!

Thanks for SHARING. Awesome. Voted up

Wow, thank you for this most inspiring hub article to wake up to this morning. I have to tell you I truly agree with your message about caring for others even when you may never have met them in person and only online. Like I have told you in the past, you are truly wise beyond your years and such a wonderful person. It is so true that your parents did a great job raising you and please never change. Happy to call you my friend :) Voted up and shared too.

I agree with the other hubbers - very uplifting and inspirational. I've had quite a few ups and downs this past year especially and you really find out who cares about you.

You always inspire...just when we think we have you in your niche you come along and do something different and wonderful. You are wise beyond your years and I am happy to be in your circle of hubbers!

Voted up, useful, awesome and interesting because you've hit upon a subject that relates to everyone.

A wonderful message, Josh, keep up the great hubs and well appreciated in their message.

This is a great hub Josh, we all have to learn to press on even when adversity strikes.

Cool, Josh! WTG! I think we can shake hands on the fact that we must press on in spite of adversity!

Thanks for the encouragement and inspiration!

Great message Nephew! A message I believe strongly in. Loved the poem but the message is the key ingredient to this hub. Good job buddy!

Well said Josh, I agree with Mary in that you are a wise young man. We can not forget the past and must learn from it, but focus on the present and what lies ahead!

Josh,

This is very much like one of my unpublished hubs. You have expressed love and encouragement with words and music so much better than I ever could. I've learned here that I may only know fellow hubbers through their words and emotions. But,I know their hearts with great insight to their souls. And they are beautiful, as is this.

Everyone can use some encouragement and this inspiring hub was very helpful. I also thought it was full of compassion.

Pretty much amazed by your technique Josh! The words just keep transmitting the message of strong will. We won't give up indeed! You have a wonderful weekend buddy!

Hi Josh! I like to see both side of you through your writing. This poem is inspiring to me. Keep writing, sharing, laughing, and loving. Your friend, Kelley

Great hub Josh! Very uplifting and exactly what people need sometimes ^_^ voted up, beautiful, useful and awesome!!!

You have to keep on trucking no matter what obstacles you encounter. Friends who understand and care enough to be there for you are angels on earth. The best friends are the ones who know when you need a laugh or smile without you telling them. They just know. That's awesome! Your hub is just want many people need to hear. Keep on being your amazing self! :)

josh: This may be serious but it is a beautiful poem. You are wise beyond your years, josh. You seem to know what life is about. The key to success is to endure. By success, I do not mean wealth and fame, I mean rich in love, life, nature around us, friends, HP, etc. You certainly are a rich man, josh.

Josh, very touching and inspiring. You are a very special person who I'm so glad I have met here on HubPages. And the Josh Groban song... I love anything he does!

Josh, beautiful hub about the importance of pressing on. I've never heard of Josh Groban - what a tender compelling voice he has .. love the song too.

God uses everything in our lives, the good, the bad and the ugly all to shape us as you say. When we really believe this it becomes an adventure to see what God is up to in the midst of the trial.

Thanks for the encouragement to press on and for caring about your friends. Thanks also for introducing me to Josh Groban.

God Bless You!

Great Job, Josh! I absolutely love it and the lessons are great :)

Josh, wow, how profound. This piece is filled with many, many truths! We all must persevere no matter what. Hub Pages is a beautiful community who share and love. Thank you for sharing this new writing style, as you said it is a new style, and it is awesome indeed! God bless. In His Love, Faith Reaper

Josh.. a poem that keeps you pressing on.. yeah great idea to use it in a poetry format bless you :)

Thank you. I promise I will not give up!

Josh my dear... I am loving your poems and well I just love everything you do..

My friend follow your wise advise as long as you can. And when you think "it" is too hard, remember me.

So encouraging and sweetly written~may you feel this encouragement for yourself as well. Blessing and Peace :)

Voted up and awesome. You are so right Josh we must never give up because there will always be a family member or a friend to help us to go on. If we add faith to that and rely on the Lord for a helping hand in need then we can get through life just fine. Great inspirational hub. Passing this on.

Josh, This is a beautiful hub, with the poetry and the message, which is so true. You picked a great song to match your message. Overall, Beautiful, Awesome and Useful! I enjoyed it very much.

I love this poem/hub of yours, Josh, revealing your serious side. I agree all the way with you :)

Voted up and awesome!

My young poet, I know I am remiss by not visiting you more often. Your words are wise beyond your years. You have moved this poet with your eloquence. Everyone needs somebody to love, Imagine how the world would be if we showed more of it. John's signature song has reverberated many times around our planet.

Your words have rocked me and I am thankful for the friends who silently are here at the Hubs supporting my writing and being friends. Thank you for sharing your LOVE to us your fellow writers and friends. Peace and blessings to you sir.

Such compassion in your words, song choice and your very presence in our community. Even when we laugh, it is fun and in the healthiest of spirits.

I am reminded of the Kate Bush song: Don't Give Up, maybe Peter Gabriel too... In your message of inspiration. Voted UP and UABI.

Josh.."Keep Pressing On" is amazing!!

This is surreal! A brilliant note, my friend :)

Highs and lows, ups and downs are part of life. Its important not to get cowed down but to keep going onwards. Time never remains the same.

Great write Josh.

I enjoyed your work very much and I share the same goals and ideals in my own life. We must persevere and keep going forward.

Great words of encouragement, Josh and a great poem. It is nice to know we have fellow writers who care.

Great pep talk. Thanks for the reminder on never giving up. Voted up.
