You can make a U-turn and head back in another direction. News Flash! Life is going to throw you a curve ball. Absolutely, 100% guaranteed. No question about it.

No exceptions! Some people weather the storms that blow them off-course, rejigger their routes, and sail on to happiness and success while others let setbacks become reasons (excuses!) to give up.
