Rarely in life do we have a successful launch and smooth trip to our destination. It is more like a game of snakes and ladders. There might be huge gains and we might take some massive hits. The secret is to keep the eye on the prize. I don't care if I take 3 steps forward then 1 step backwards. If I repeat that 100 times I'm 200 steps closer to my goal even after taking 100 hits.
