Always making progress
The greatest triumphs often come after the biggest setbacks. 
The most substantial successes are often preceded by 
numerous failures. 
Why does achievement so regularly rise out of 
disappointment? Because disappointment can be such a 
powerful teacher. 
Others could tell you a thousand times what doesn't work, 
and still you might be tempted to try it. Once you've 
experienced disappointing results for yourself, however, 
you're not going to make the same mistake again. 
Are you hesitant to move forward because there's the 
possibility of a setback? Then consider that every 
short-term disappointment can serve to build a stronger 
foundation for long-term achievement. 
Even when you're not getting the results you want, you're 
making progress. Every experience, whether successful or 
not, can teach you how to do it better. 
So go ahead, step forward, and travel confidently in the 
direction of your dreams. For even though the setbacks and 
disappointments will come, you surely have nothing to 
fear. 
And, even more importantly, you have everything to gain.
