P.U.S.H.

I appreciate the encouragement someone gave me to P.U.S.H.

He exhorted ...

When everything seems to go wrong,
     just P.U.S.H.!
When the job gets you down,
     just P.U.S.H.!
When people don't react the way you think they should,
     just P.U.S.H.!
When your money looks funny and the bills are due,
     just P.U.S.H.!
When you want to curse them out for whatever the reason,
     just P.U.S.H.!
When you ask the question, when is my ship coming in?
(as I often do),
     just P.U.S.H.!
When people just don't understand you,
     just P.U.S.H.!

Not to continue on and on…
let me tell you what P.U.S.H. stands for.

One of my favorite soul music groups of the 1960’s was The Impressions. Lead singer and lyricist Curtis Mayfield produced some great music. Listen to “Keep on Pushing” with the words above in mind.
