When goals aren't met, I reflect, adjust, and persist with renewed determination.

@mark_pavlyukovskyy Taking a time off is a great way to renew your determination as well. I had a disaster of a night after accidentally launched, now it's resolved scheduled for next Wednesday. would you consider follow our launch?

*Deep breath* and I reflect on why I couldn't achieve my goals. Were they actually realistic? How can I do better next time? I reassure myself that goals are a way to learn and grow, and setbacks are just part of the journey.

Every failure is a success in my books. I like to look at things that if I don't hit my goals on time, then it's just a learning experience on how to time manage or be more efficient going forward!

I just move the goalpost, and analyse why I didn't meet it this time, so that next time I CAN meet it
