Make an adjustment and try again.


There's no failure, only feedback
As long as you haven't given up, there is no failure; only feedback.
The universe is teaching you - "When you do this, I am showing you what happens.  If it's not what you want, make an adjustment and try again".
Make an adjustment and try again.
Make an adjustment and try again.
