Stay strong. Stay alert. Stay humble.
A lack of strength leads to a lack of alertness. A lack of awareness leads to a lack of humility. A lack of humility leads to pride. An excess of pride leads to a lack of strength.
Make sure you keep yourself in check and don't slip-up. If you do, however, just go back to the path you were already on.
Perseverance is truly a virtue and a standard in life. Life is only enjoyable for those who endure.
