Even with the best action plan, the most passion and the best motivation; there will be times that you experience setbacks and there will be moments when you think of giving it all up.

Dealing with discouragement is one of the most concrete and constant aspects of achieving everything.

But this is all about how you frame that setback mentally.

We can view setbacks as failures. As proof that we weren’t up to the task, that we don't deserve that success. As a lesson that we shouldn’t stretch ourselves too much.

OR we can view every problem as a challenge.

And every failure as a learning curve, something to learn, and a chance to come back stronger.

Whenever you are sent home covered in bruises, it's just a chance to learn from your mistakes, get stronger and come back and kick your ass.


The more difficult the challenge. The more the chances are insurmountable. The more kicks you have. The more triumphant your eventual and inevitable victory.


You can respond to a setback in two ways.

1. You can give up, forget all the progress you've made and let it win;

2. Or you can get tougher and come back and win. You can choose to try harder.

Those are the two options – there is no third alternative!

Do you want to give up? Or do you want to BE BETTER and get it done?

You only fail when you stop trying.

To your success,
