Setting the Goal is Easy, Sticking to it? Not so much.

Sticking to our goals is tough work. Boy, oh boy, is it tough to stay focused, motivated, and inspired to achieve a goal.  There are days that try our patience.  People that divert our attention elsewhere.  Circumstances that seem to occur at just the wrong times.  That the way life goes.  


You may have made a commitment this year.  Or even this week.  A commitment to make a personal change.  A commitment to give more positive reinforcement to employees.  A commitment to manage your time more effective.  A commitment to have some of those crucial conversations you have been putting off.  


When those days, circumstances, and people interrupt your focus remember two things:
1.  Don't give up.
2.  There is nothing wrong with baby steps when it comes to change.  


It's okay to fall off the wagon, but it's not okay to stay there.  And it's okay if you can't dive right in to make a big change, a baby step in the right direction each day will eventually get you to your destination.  
Go easy on yourself when you don't succeed and get back up and try again.
