When Stuff Goes Wrong, Get Back on the Horse

I’ve had one of those days where everything seems to go pear-shaped.

  • I forgot to record the first part of my workshop

  • I had food in my teeth the whole time I was talking and didn’t realise

  • I got a headache and fell asleep in the middle of the day, putting everything behind schedule

  • I accidentally sat in a puddle (yes, really)

Even though none of these are real problems and won’t affect me tomorrow, it still made me CRINGE and want to run away and avoid all of my responsibilities.

But even though it sucks, I’m still choosing to show up for the things that will move me towards my goals today.

Because I want to be the kind of person who shows up even when she doesn't feel like it.

I spoke in another blog post about how Will Smith says he doesn't care what his in-the-moment feelings tell him. He says that what he feels like in the moment never gets a say in his success.

Feelings are short term. Results are forever.
