Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach.
Meaning of the quote
Once you've made up your mind about something, it's important to stick with it and not give up. But at the same time, you should be willing to change the way you go about it if things don't go as planned. Being flexible and open to trying new approaches can help you reach your goals, even if the path you thought would work doesn't turn out to be the best one.
