Detours

Success and achievement do not end up coming about in exactly the way we planned. 

Just because something goes wrong along the way, does not mean that the goal is unreachable. And more likely than not, something will go wrong.

For example, if you have to get to an important meeting and your car won't start, you call a taxi or find another way to get there. You wouldn't abandon the meeting just because one of the many options for getting there (driving in your car) didn't work out.

For anything you want to attain, there are many ways to get there. When one path becomes blocked, don't turn back. Instead, take a detour, and you may soon find that the going is even better than you could have imagined.
