Your faith in yourself and in your abilities will likely be unshakable today, even if your plans go awry or your expectations go unmet. Circumstances that might otherwise cause you to question your ability to walk your chosen path to its natural conclusion may have little power to interfere with your resolve. This steadfastness likely has roots in your attitudes toward the adversity that is a natural aspect of the pursuit of dreams. Since you can appreciate today that much of what you have learned over time has been the result of failure rather than success, you likely look upon all that can potentially go wrong in your journey as opportunities to expand your knowledge of the challenges yet to come.

When we recognize that the adversity we face as we progress toward personal and professional fulfillment is an important part of the goal-realization process, we are more apt to regard setbacks and failure as valuable learning experiences. While we may at first become disheartened by our temporary inability to reach certain goals, we can nonetheless see that this does not mean we are destined to languish in a realm in which achievement is impossible. Our determination and optimism sustain us as we try and try again to meet those objectives related to our purpose. We may not attain satisfaction for quite some time, but we are content to reap the fullness of the experiences associated with our journey. Your devotion to your chosen path will be unshakable today because your commitment is stronger than the sting of defeat.
