“When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don’t adjust the goals, adjust the action steps.”
~Confucius
When we’ve been working hard to achieve something and we come across what seems to be an insurmountable obstacle, our response is often to give up in defeat. But if the goal is a worthy one, and in synergy with our values, it should not be abandoned! Rather, rethink your actions and activities and come at the obstacle from a different angle, with additional support, and an optimistic attitude. While it is true that you may still not prevail, it is certain you won’t if you don’t make the next attempt. Make the attempt!
