It is hard to have a clear vision of where you want to go in life, but if you are able to focus on a direction, you will still have to wade thru your fair share of trouble as there is no path that to fulfillment that will not get you wet.
 It is the bigger issues that you triumph over that create the better chapters and gives you the better stories that you can tell once you are able to sit and reflected upon where and what you have done to get to where you are at.
