The harder the route..

Ever so often, we are out to achieve a goal, fulfill an ambition, flat out want to realize our potential. And just as certain as the sun will rise from the east tomorrow morning, we encounter difficulties enroute. Fate throws a curveball at you, or you swing and miss badly on a fastball in the strike zone, or you just simply make it tough on yourself, or it simply is hard just because life can be like that.

So, do you give up because you stumbled into these road-blocks? Do you accept defeat and say that you are not capable of doing the things that you set out to achieve? Or do you plod on and say to yourself, the harder the route is, the sweeter the success at the end of the journey will be. The tougher the route, the more pleasant the conclusion of the journey will be.
