It may take me a long time to finish the journey that I am on, but I am ok with that. Sure, I get frustrated, angry, saddened...but I know that if I am dedicated, if I consistently take action toward my goals - I WILL achieve them.

Good perspective! I have a tendency to replay past events mentally and wish I did it differently. Intellectually I know it's a waste of time and energy, but it's a tough habit to break.
I'm reminded that Lance Armstrong has said that given the choice, he does not wish he'd never had cancer. That experience really changed every aspect of his life.
