Looking back at the example, life is not as smooth sailing. Since at every turn or action there is an obstacle in the way to tip the scale ever so slightly towards quitting.
One’s job is to identify these blockers and put in an action plan how to overcome them.
For example one is hiking along a trail and tree fell on to it, one can either go around, over, or under it.
As one continues on the trail there would have been a stream crossing though the bridge is washed out. Options of tackling the obstacle are going through, jumping over it, or navigating to a different bridge.
These were some examples of dealing with physical blockers, though most of life consists of intangible ones that possibly can be manifested away from physical ones.
For example the hunger is so strong that one cannot think clearly. The solution is to eat something while maintaining one’s sanity i.e. that the food consumed doesn’t trigger another avoidable blocker.
These were simple examples and life consists of an interlinked chain of triggers; find them and tweak them to get the desired result.
