I've realized that life is a roller coaster full of ups and downs. Sometimes we have a bad day but we can make the choice to accept what has happened and embrace it and plan to shoot higher tomorrow. :) @Jeremy – Me too, I’ve been the same way.

And I've found that even while doing websites, there is the temptation to allow a 'bad' day to interfere with the larger picture. A bad day in terms of statistics. Maybe my bounce rate was high, maybe there weren't many visitors that day. We should all remember to not beat ourselves up over outcomes which are less than perfect because when you think about it - every outcome is going to be less than perfect. That's just the nature of life. There will always be challenges and growth, obstacles and overcoming.

We do have the tendency to pressure ourselves to much, and hence, to feel frustrated. What can keep us going is trusting our own happiness. If we are really passionate about something, we will never give up ;) That’s so true. We do have the tendency to pressure ourselves to much, and hence, to feel frustrated.
