We quit on ourselves because we tied our confidence to the finish line. When the goal gets delayed, the confidence goes with it.
If achievement is the only thing that makes us feel good, then 99% of our lives will feel like failure. The answer isn't smaller goals. It's moving where the good feeling comes from.
Getting back up is the achievement. Real confidence comes from being willing to look like a fool in front of people who are better than us — the person who loves the practice passes the person with the talent, every time.
Manifestation focuses the mind. It doesn't do the work.
Success and failure are two sides of one coin. The only real failure is quitting.
