How to Approach Roadblocks and Keep Moving Forward

Where I'm from in Turkey, when someone is leaving on a major journey, the family, the friends, and all the neighbors collect around with buckets of water in their hands. And as the person is driving away or riding away, they throw these buckets of water after the person. And the message is, may you be like water. May you always flow to a destination, just like water does, right? I mean, if there is a rock that is blocking the way, the road of the water, it'll go around it, or sometimes it'll go under it. But it always goes someplace. So that's a send-off that they send you away with. And very often in my career, when I've had blocks, roadblocks, I've always said, I can flow around this. I might not always end up exactly where I thought I was going to end up, I might end up in a different place, I might have a different trajectory, but I'm always moving forward.
