Get Up and Keep Doing This!
It's a new year. Time to get up and start working on those goals, right? Well, yes and no.
Do you start the new year with lofty aspirations to make drastic changes to your life, only to quickly fail to accomplish your goals?
When this happens you probably feel like an utter failure.
I'm here to tell you that,
“Failure is not final.”
Failure is a part of success. You probably already know that. But what do you do after failing?
Keep moving forward.
One of my favorite quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr says this,
“If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.”
Don’t let your failures define you. Let them drive you to a better place.
