"If you're sailing across the ocean and your goal is to avoid weather and waves, then why the hell are you sailing? You have to embrace that sailing means that you can't control the elements and that there will be good days and bad days and that, whatever comes, you will deal with it because your goal is to get to the other side. You will not be able to control exactly how you get across. That's the game you've decided to be in. If your goal is to make it easier and simpler, then don't get in the boat." -Andrew Stanton
How many life situations can this illustration apply? At anytime when you have a results oriented goal, perhaps within a few parameters, how you reach that goal should be flexible. If it's not flexible the first challenge will prevent the goal from being reached. If you expect that the route will change, you can continue to move forward in different ways and directions by keeping your eye on the goal.
