“Giving up on your goal after one setback is like slashing your other three tires because you got a flat.” ~ Unknown
It’s March 1st and I’m coming clean about February. I had a goal set for completion during the month of February—and I even got an extra day this year—yet I didn’t reach my goal. I’m really disappointed, I shared this news with my accountability partners, and I set a new, and very similar goal, for March.
Coming clean to my accountability partners, while not fun, was cathartic. As a coach and a prolific motivational blogger, people sometimes think I don’t fail at things like goals. Well, that’s not true! This particular failure did not come because I gave up. I really tried, but because it didn’t happen, I will be looking at a somewhat different route this time. I will assess what went right and what went wrong and make adjustments accordingly.
Maybe one of your goals hasn’t been a success so far—don’t slash your other three tires! March 1st is a clean slate! Start over with me. It’s not even starting over really, it’s rebooting! We can do hard things! We can! Please jump back in the saddle with me because there’s one thing we know for sure…
LET’S GO! WE GOT THIS!
