When faced with a dilemma or goal, it is important that one focuses their energy on the necessary steps it takes to solve the problem. Deal with the experience and not just the task. Those afraid to fall will get lost in their weaknesses, while those facing a challenge derive positive energy from their strengths." - Master Tom Bloom
