Every time you fail, you need to take a break.

Continuing to struggle and push against your failures, hoping they will get away, doesn’t help. But some distance and perspective could help you realize what went wrong and how you could do better next time.

• Was it your fault?
• Was it something external that influenced you?
• Could you have done better?
• How much could you have done?

Goal oversetting is good only if you don’t give up. Otherwise, it doesn’t bring you any advantages.

So if you notice you haven’t even reached half of the goals you set, perhaps you could halve them and try to accomplish that much.

Next time, you can overreach again. But for now, keep an eye on your motivation. And aiming for more effortless goals is a great way to regain it.

It doesn’t matter how many failures you achieve if you reach the higher goal eventually. But you have to rationalize your failures.

You only make a small step before falling the first time you fail. The second time, you swing higher because you know some of the adversities. So you take a bigger leap and reach higher heights. But you fall again.

Then, you take another swing. And this time, it is higher than ever. So through repetition, realization, and self-reflection, you learned how to avoid every obstacle in your way and reach your goal.
