That Empowering Feeling

I love the feeling when things don't go right, when I'm trying to do something, but it doesn't work out they way that I want it to. I keep working on it, keep trying things and banging away while frequently cursing with frustration.

It's maddening. I take a break and come up with some new ideas, but nothing works. I shelve it until the next day, get some rest, and attack it with a new perspective. I try again and again and again, until finally...

...something works! A breakthrough! And the results are spectacular, better than I could have hoped. I **LOVE** that feeling! The frustration was worth it, the time well spent, because now, I have a new understanding, a new technique, a new strategy that I can apply whenever I need to get a similar results. I am a stronger person for having gone through the struggle, and I will never take what I have learned for granted.
