Progress Isn’t A Straight Line

By on January 10, 2026

Many of us set New Year’s Resolutions, goals we want to achieve.

It is January 10th and I have experienced setbacks in those goals. Some setbacks are so severe I’m tempted to discard the goal entirely.

But that is NOT the way (to reference The Mandalorian – grins).

Setbacks are always part of progress, of change.

The path to progress isn’t a straight line. It isn’t a mountain.

It is more like a series of increasingly high hills.

We go forward. We go back a little bit. We go forward. We go back a little bit.

Eventually we reach the altitude or goal we wish to achieve.

Don’t allow a setback or two (or fifteen – grins) stop you from achieving your goals!

Setbacks are part of the process. Recognize them, my friends, and continue trekking forward.
