Times of Challenge

It is in times of setback and challenge that one needs to stick to a system and make adjustments as necessary. Sticking to a plan of action can sometimes be a difficult thing to do in times of crisis because the initial urge is to abandon all set plans in a mad scramble. This is the absolute worst thing that one could do.

In times of adversity, it is crucial to not lose sight of what one was trying to accomplish. If one can weather the storm and make modifications to the game plan as necessary, success can be had. The ability to persevere through disappointment and doubt is a skill that must be learned through experience. It is not easy to transmit the essence of this reality through words alone.
