Discouraged?

Welcome to Friday!!

So if you've been reading since Wednesday and putting into practice your goal setting, this is the test..the weekend.
Keep up with trying to achieve that goal all weekend so you can keep up your momentum right through to Monday morning. 
Today's topic is something I've been through many times when trying to achieve a new goal...DISCOURAGEMENT.  It can be so hard on your ego to prepare day and night only to fall flat on your face the first time out.  You write out your goal and do everything you are suppose to and the first time out  you don't even come close to your target.  It can seem so impossible at times to attain what you want.

This is exactly what  needs to happen.  If everything goes exactly perfect the first time out...It wouldn't be worth trying in the first place.  I want you to learn the law of substitution.  You are now going to program yourself, whenever discouragement sets in to substitute discouragement with PRACTICE and persistence.  When desire truly sets in and you want something with all your heart the more you need to practice.  I know you've heard the saying "practice makes perfect", that because it's true.

Today's action step is to fail at something new and get right back on your feet and try it again and again.  This is easier said that done but hang in there.  The feeling that something is impossible should be a HUGE motivator for you to want to go after it more, because once you achieve your goal the the glory will be yours.

Stay motivated
