If at first you don’t succeed, you’re running about average.

Persevering through failure

Of course try, try again, but when you don’t succeed at something it’s best not to beat yourself up or hold yourself to an unrealistic standard of achievement. Feeling as if you’re a failure, simply for not reaching a goal, is not who you truly are. Do you think you’re the only one who fails? Of course not! Most problems involve steps to their solution, and solving each step along the way IS an accomplishment. If you become discouraged during your weight loss journey or find your financial aspirations out of reach, keep trying! Some of life’s most rewarding experiences make you sweat and persevere through hard times, only to emerge on the other side victorious and wiser for having worked so hard.
