Failure happens.
There will be days when you won’t want to work toward your goal. You’ll have a drag of friend’s cigarette even though you already quit, or you’ll eat a brownie when you know you shouldn’t.
In most cases, when someone falls off the wagon, they stay off. They feel like such a failure that they just plain give up.
Don’t give up!
Rather than beating yourself up over your mistake, forgive yourself. Realize that everyone has weakness. Everyone.
What makes some people great and successful is that they keep going when they make a mistake. They say “oops, I fell off the wagon. I guess I better get back on.”
And they continue to reach for their goals.
I want you to do the same. Next time you do something that makes you feel like a failure, forgive yourself. Step back, realize your mistake, and move on.
