I'm very hard on myself. I am sure that many others are, also. Sometimes, if we make a mistake, have a bad day, or don't make our goals for the day, or the week, we have the tendency to beat ourselves up. I know that I do! Sometimes we get the attitude "I've already messed this up, so I might as well just quit." I admit, it's very discouraging to let yourself down. It's discouraging to feel like you failed at something. Being discouraged is no reason to quit! We have to accept the fact that we haven't failed. We are not failures. We have only had a setback, a stumble.
However small, or large these setbacks may be, we are strong, and we are capable of bouncing back! We are all going to have bad days, and those days may even turn into a week, or longer. Those bad days are only stumbles in the road. Think of how bad you will feel if you do just throw in the towel and give up. Think about how good it will feel to pick yourself up, shake it off, and just keep moving forward. The past is the past. There is nothing we can do to change that. We do have the power to determine how the present and the future will be. We all have the strength to keep going, even when it's not an easy thing to do. If you do decide to quit, you are only destined to begin the journey again, at a later date. If you don't quit, think of how proud of yourself you will be, when you get to that finish line, and reach your goal!
Never let a stumble in the road be the end of your journey!
