Don't obsess over failures - start fresh

[Ron]

It's always hard when you let yourself down and you fail a goal, but you need to accept that it happened and move on immediately from it, because feeling bad about your failure isn't going to do any good for you. Any time you fall off the wagon, recognize your mistake and then start fresh immediately. It doesn't matter how many times you have to start over, what matters is that you keep trying. We all make mistakes. What is important are the steps we take after we fail. Keep going and keep thinking positive and you will get there!

How right you are, Ron. You really do just have to dust yourself off and get back up and try again. We fail all the time and we make mistakes all the time, but it's what we do after we make them that really matters. It's the people who don't quit who succeed!

Thanks for posting this Ron, I really needed to see that today. I've been having a hard time with dieting and that's exactly the motivation I need to help push me forward. It's really depressing to feel like a constant failure, but you're right. We can't harp on our mistakes because it doesn't get us anywhere. We need to keep going, no matter how many times we fall down. What matters is that we get back up and try again. The only way to fail for sure is to admit defeat.
