Hello, and welcome back to Third Power Life podcast, and coming in with you a little bit later in the evening than I normally do. And I want to talk to you about what do you do when things don't go according to plan?
Well, welcome to my journey of self discovery, life balance, career success and business creation. This podcast works to answer the question of how successful professionals like us stop drifting, and get focused on keeping our careers and businesses growing rapidly, while having a full balanced and vibrant light that we absolutely love, what we call the Third Power Life. And this is the Third Power Life podcast.
You know, it's been my experience that as soon as you start out on a new venture a new, you know, focus, you know, start, you know, doing a restart, when I always talk about, you know, it's the importance of restarts, you know, it's not that you have issues or that you, you know, that you fall down or that, you know, you eat that cheesecake, when you're on a diet, whatever, you know, whatever the issue is, the big thing is that you restart immediately. And, you know, we're all going to have those days that are just don't go the way that we planned. Things go wrong. We just it doesn't, it doesn't work out. And, I mean, that happens with diets, it happens with goals that happens with with everything. And what generally happens is, you know, we're, we're on a diet, we're doing good, we're eating well, we're exercising, and then either we miss the gym, or, you know, there were some friends over and there were doughnuts and one thing led to another and there's now a dozen donuts missing somewhere, right? Something happens, and we get off of our track. The key is not to focus on what went wrong. I mean, we need to figure out what was the lesson?
How can I avoid this in the future? But the real key is to not get caught up in the poor me and the, you know, the self pity? And like, Oh, it's just ruined my diet through it. Right? The key is to immediately get back up and say, okay, yes, I messed up. Now it's time to restart again. Because, you know, I've done this so many times myself, where I say, you know, I'm going to do my journal, and I'm going to do this, and I'm going to exercise every day and, and I start in the first three or four days are fine, and then something happens and I miss, and okay, well, I'll try it again sometime soon. And then a month goes by two months go by, and I'm like, you know, I really should start that up again. The key is, don't wait two months. Don't wait two days, don't wait two hours. Now's the time to immediately restart.
