When we are on our path to our goals and we find ourselves losing momentum and spinning out just before the attaining of our goal. It is time to reflect and get honest with our self and determine whether we are giving up, making excuses OR we may only need to take another run at it. Being honest and true, knowing that we can back down and create momentum to hit the climb to our goal and miss the bumps along the way that slowed us down. Even when we are going "backward" we are moving forward to our goal if we use the knowledge gain from the first attempt or the 2nd. What is key, is to continue taking runs at it until we crest the peak and achieve the goal we desire.
