  • Do what you can, close to the plan

    Life gets in the way.

    Often, though, what could be small setbacks completely derail our progress.

    We throw our plan out the window because things aren't just right.

    You have another option.

    Do what you can, close to the plan.

    You can't be perfect, but you can be consistent.

    You've got this.

  • Know when to quit

    Sometimes, the results stop being worth the effort.

    Yet, we persist, fearing criticism or ridicule.

    You owe nothing to anybody but yourself.

    Know when to quit.

    Some may call it failure, a mistake, or weakness.

    You can just as easily call it growth.

    There's no shame in that.

    You've got this.

  • Beating yourself up won't create that change

    You'll make mistakes, fail to reach goals, and see things that you'd like to change about yourself every day.

    Beating yourself up won't create that change.

    Pat yourself on the back for recognizing your shortcomings.

    Then, put in the work to get better.

    That's all you can do.

    You've got this.

  • A bad day is a bad day

    Your bad day has nothing to do with anybody else's.

    Theirs may have been worse.

    Yours may have been worse.

    It doesn't matter.

    This isn't a contest.

    A bad day is a bad day.

    Why pull each other down?

    Is it not more helpful to lift each other up?

    Be a part of the solution.

    You've got this.

  • You can decide to change

    Who you are and how you're living aren't set in stone.

    You can decide to change.

    That doesn't mean it will be easy.

    Your circumstances might constrain you.

    It might not be clear how you'd like to change.

    You can figure that out, though.

    What matters is that you get started.

    You've got this.

  • Giving up won't correct a failure

    Giving up won't correct a failure.

    It only ensures that you never succeed.

    If the end goal matters to you, keep trying.

    Sure, you might fail again.

    At least you give yourself another chance.

    Otherwise, you know the alternative.

    You definitely won't succeed if you don't try.

    You've got this.

  • Focus on action, not anxiety

    Planning can make tomorrow's problems more manageable.

    Worrying, however, is letting tomorrow's problems ruin today.

    The future will bring its challenges.

    Position yourself to handle them as well as you can.

    Then, let them be what they will be.

    Focus on action, not anxiety.

    You've got this.
