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.
