 # Follow Through

   Details    Category: [Inspirations](https://eatingdisorderrecovery.net/table/help-yourself/inspirations/)  *When you get right down  
 to the root of the meaning  
 of the word succeed,  
 you find it simply means  
 to follow through.*  
 *Life is too short to waste  
 In critic peep  
 or cynic bark,  
 Quarrel or reprimand:*  
 *Twill soon be dark;  
 Up! Mind thine own aim,  
 and God speed the mark!*  
 *Everything should be made as simple as possible,   
 but not simpler.*  
 *It often happens  
 that I wake at night  
 and begin to think about  
 a serious problem  
 and decide I must tell  
 the Pope about it.*  
 *Then I wake up  
 completely and remember   
 that I am the Pope.*  
 Pope John XXIII
