Don’t let anybody tell you that you can’t do it. You can. It’s up to you. Decide to do it and follow through. – Porter Freeman
Personal
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Regardless of your religion, no matter what holiday you celebrate, I wish you the very best! Merry Christmas to those that celebrate it. Please travel safely wherever you’re going, even if it’s just into the kitchen for another eggnog. I hope your holiday is filled with love and warmth, and that you enjoy the blessings of having friends and loved ones around you. We’ll be back at it on the 5th of January, 2015!
Celebrate Your Successes
No matter how minor, you should stop and celebrate your successes on the way to achieving your resolution.
A Setback Is Not A Defeat
Let’s say you’ve resolved to run a marathon in 6 months. You’ve gone out and run every day for the last 27 days. But for some reason, today your run just didn’t happen. That’s it then! You’ll never accomplish that goal now, will you?
Baloney! Stumbling on your way to achieving a goal is human – it happens to everybody. Just because you missed a run, or ate a rich dessert, or didn’t lift weights today doesn’t mean you can’t get back on track tomorrow. You’ve still got your previous successful work and your sheer determination. You cannot allow one setback to change your mental attitude.
