In life I've found it very important to set goals and work towards them. You can find plenty of advice on how to set a goal, on what a goal "should" be (i.e. SMART Goals) and even how to celebrate reaching your goals. What you don't find a lot of is how to react when you don't reach those goals. There's really only three options, give up, give in, or give it all you've got. Giving up isn't an option for me, as I don't really know what I would do if I don't reach my goals, this goes the same for giving in and resigning myself to failure, it's simply not the way I'm wired. That leaves me with but one option, to give it all I've got. Goals may not have been reached this time, but all that means is I need to reevaluate how I've gone about them, and realize my goals did not fail, I failed at achieving them.For me right now that means pushing harder, working harder, with more passion on a more consistant basis. Not letting obstacles be anything but something that I use to push myself closer to my goal. I will get to where I want to be, not because of luck, not because someone has helped me get there but because I WILL get myself there. Too many people have told me that I CAN'T, that I WON'T, well I have news for them, I WILL, and when I do I will stand triumphantly on top of my achievement and say "I TOLD YOU SO", not for them, but for ME! I will work HARDER, I will PUSH, I will TRAIN, I will LEARN, and I will TRIUMPH! Don't worry about me, I've got this, I will CRUSH my goals, every time I don't I just figure out another way not to get to my goals, and that means I'm simply one step closer to realizing them! Don't give up, don't give in, GIVE IT ALL YOU'VE GOT!
