This is very true. But we tend to think it's all black and white. In which, we have to do specific things perfectly in order to reach our goals. Then when we fail to achieve these "must dos" we revert back to our former lives. However, it is not about doing things perfectly it's about always bettering yourself. Asking yourself everyday am I growing mentally, spiritually, physically, or energetically. Because as long as you're growing, you are growing towards a higher reality and a better life even if the specificities aren't what you originally had in mind.
