don't break the eggs

a lot of people are all or nothing people . they are either perfect or horrible and nothing in between. unfortunately for them life is rarely clear cut. i heard the following analogy in regards to weight loss, but it can really be applied to everything in life.
here goes...
lets say you have a carton full of eggs and by the time you get home from the store you realize that you have broken one of the eggs. would you just continue breaking the rest of the eggs because after all one egg is broken and you no longer have a full carton of intact eggs? i will answer this one. of course you would not continue to break the rest of the eggs. you would just have to make the most of the remaining eleven eggs until you went to the store again and bought another dozen eggs.
just because a person might break their diet one day does not mean they should throw in the towel. sometimes people fail but this does not eradicate the rest of ones victories. try to look at the big picture. just because things aren't perfect does not mean the goals aren't worth striving for even if they may take long to achieve.
never underestimate the power of perseverance.

its about the journey....

failure is not striving for something and not achieving. failure is focusing on a specific goal and being disappointed when its unreachable. life is about the journey. its not about where you have or havent been.its about the route one is opting to take. this is so hard to internalize. logically this is a good thing . try to be the best one can be, but it doesnt matter if one accomplishes all ones dreams, just if one tries to . i feel better already....
