A friend of mine and I were talking about this topic.
Sometimes a certain goal or task looks huge and it seems like we'll never accomplish it. Especially if we're going forward and doing well and then slip and fall to the bottom.
But what we should remember is it doesn't mean we failed. We can still succeed if we keep trying and go forward. One thing that helps to alleviate the task is to focus on the journey instead of the result or destination. It's the journey and effort we put into it that counts. As it says in Pirkei Avos 2:21 ''It is not up to you to complete the task, but you're not free to withdraw from it.'' The job might be really hard, but we are only expected to try our best.

Loosely translated:
A yid doesn't need to focus to accomplish, A yid doesn't have to focus to Finish, what he needs to focus is to DO what needs to be done!

Nice! I also like the quote "A tzaddik falls seven times before he stands" meaning "A tzaddik stands becasue he fell seven times"
(Or something like that -I learned it in seminary, and that was a while back!)
