Success is not an “on” or “off” kind of thing.
It ebbs and flows.
If one must use the light switch metaphor, it’s wiser to consider success to be a dimmer switch. Some days it’s at full brightness. Other times, it’s very dark.
But, it’s always on.
Pressing the Reset Button
You can press “Reset” whenever you want.
Anytime it feels like things are not going the way you expected, you can press “reset.”
You don’t have to wait until the New Year, next month, Monday, “when the holidays are over,” or “when things settle down.” You don’t even have to wait until tomorrow.
You can do it right now.
And what’s really cool about the “reset button,” is you can push it over and over and over again.
It works every time.
Getting Started (Again)
There is no limit to how many times you can “begin” again.
There’s no denying that it’s frustrating to “start over” again and again and again.
We feel embarrassed and sometimes even ashamed. Because of those feelings, we keep our plans to ourselves, telling fewer and fewer people. Although it’s not required that we tell people, but the down side of not discussing what we want with those supportive to us is if no one knows what we’re doing, it makes it easier for us to back out and “save face.”
The reality is the one person who really matters does know; that’s us. WE know we’ve let ourselves down. WE know that we’re not doing what we want to do. And there’s no one else more important than US when it comes to changing.
It’s inevitable; you’re going to slip up. You’re going to fall down. But the key to success is getting up more times than you fall.<
