Story after story, throughout history tells us of people who struck gold, oil, found treasures and built empires when the odds were overwhelming against them. Many times an aircraft is off course from one destination to the other. However, by making slight adjustments, they arrive with no one knowing the difference. The pilot is not unrealistic in thinking he can fly in any direction and arrive where he wishes. He charts his course and plans his journey.
Life is much the same.
We must chart our course and plan our journey. I once discovered a poem, which summarizes the importance of never giving up. I want to let go, but I won't let go. I will never yield. I'll never let go.
