Failure doesn't exist unless you accept it.

So many times on here I see people using the term failure...and to each their own...how about instead of such a definitive, final and negative term try accepting it for what it truly is....being human...we were not designed to be machines...not perfect either...this "failure" you speak of is not the end all to your journey...it is in fact but a blip on your path to who you are trying to become physically...but if you must label it in a negative manner, simply call it a stumble or even better yet a learning experience...but ultimately, you're only human and it's okay that you had a bad meal, bad eating day/week...heck it's even fine if you've missed some workouts and put on some weight...the point is, it's not over...so lift up your chin, smile your smile and enjoy the journey along the way...don't wait until you hit your goal weight to love your body...you're already beautiful now...

"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."
Michael Jordan
I accept failure. It makes me stronger, and realise what my mistakes are. You need failure to be able to succeed. :-)0 -
