       When an insignificant obstacle comes or tries to stop us, we need to deal with it and move on. We should not overreact to things and be a person who is quick-tempered. Rather, we should be slow to anger. When we do this, we won’t get caught up with the insignificant matters but rather we will move forward. Don't misunderstand me, though, because surely we are going to have bad days, days when we don't stay determined and lose our stability. There will be times when we are tempted by Satan to give up in reaching our goal. And he will try to convince us that we have been on the wrong path, when we haven't, or that all of our work up to this point has been useless. But just because we have a bad day, this doesn't mean that we should throw in the towel and give up. Sometimes we throw the towel, and we need to quickly grab it back. Most things we do will have some sort of trial and error, guess and check. That's just the way things often work. And this is another reason why having a proper perspective is necessary for better success. If we lose track of an overall, big-picture’ perspective, it can become easier to give up because all we see is our one failure on this particular day.
