Meaning
This reads as a lesson in staying with the work when mistakes start to pile up. The impulse to ease off can be strong, but the line points to momentum as a way through frustration, not perfection as the entry point. It lands for an athlete, a student, or anyone in a rough stretch who needs to keep moving instead of freezing at the errors.
