Keep Going

Why? Why would I keep going? Because you matter. You matter. You matter to me. Why? That's your favorite question, isn't it? Because even though you're a stranger I haven't ever met, I know you are important. You have a purpose. Keep going. You have something you're supposed to do for this world. I know. So please, don't beat yourself up. You're perfect. Rember there is someone who is jealous of your hair, your beautiful face, your body. You don't have to believe it, but it's true. You have to keep being you. Be kind, be different, be you. I love you and that's saying something. Believe in yourself. I've been there. Been to the point where I don't want to keep going. Where I don't think I'm worthy. I am at that point, too. But I'm trying to have faith and you need to have faith, too. So, please, join me on this journey of realizing we are perfect, we have a purpose, and we need to keep going.
"Please, whoever you are, keep going. For me.

Keep your stick on the ice

The most basic and important piece of advice in hockey (and maybe even in life).

Also possibly the most repeated advice from coaches, often screamed in frustration when some knob misses an easy tip into a wide open net because his/her stick is nowhere near the ice, or the goalie lets in a soft five-hole goal for the same reason.

The meaning is twofold:

First, be ready for anything. Hockey is fast and the difference in a one-goal game could be the result of your stick placement (applies to everyone, goalies included).

Second, chill out; keep it simple. It can be easy to over-complicate things and to try too hard when you get into a slump. Don’t over-think it; just keep your stick on the ice and things will work themselves out.
1.
Phil Kessel: I haven’t scored a goal in like 52 games. I’m never gonna get out of this slump.

Ryan Smyth: Dude, you’re probably right, but don’t over-complicate things… Just keep your stick on the ice.

2.
Red Green: On behalf of myself and Harold and the whole gang up here at Possum Lodge, keep your stick on the ice.
