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.

good post
I was working today and had to keep asking myself what lesson was I learning and would I ever know. I knew for sure the next time I would do the project completely different, if there was a similiar project. Then this post. Sometimes u just gotta do it anyway, reguardless of the results. One foot in front of the other. Tomorrow is a new day. Whats in store? Just got a call to go fishing.
