About This Quote

Before we can reach our goals in life, we must first learn to face adversity head on. We all face obstacles and challenges in life and it is important to know when to learn from them and when to move forward undeterred. This is something that many people lack in their lives and they end up avoiding the challenge in favor of a quick and easy solution. Sometimes we need to be patient and take the time required to figure out what we are doing wrong in order to correct it.
