Laura Opsahl says:
“It is important to realize that your climb to the mountain top is not going to be smooth. There will be small victories, and then you may slide back a bit and become discouraged. But you will never fall down as low as where you began. Every step is helpful and a part of the process. You are always moving upward.”
