Perfect Streaks are Overrated
In the words of the great theologian Rocky Balboa, “It ain’t about how hard you hit; it’s about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done!”
You are going to take some hits as you journey through life. You’ll set out to accomplish projects and the variables will shift, you’ll commit to going to the gym and you’ll get injured or sick, you’ll realize that it’s impossible to stack wins every single day. You can’t ensure that you’ll never break a winning streak… BUT you can commit to ALWAYS BREAK a losing streak!
You’ll be surprised at how much “Never Miss Twice” can be applied to life.
It’s okay to miss a week hitting your gym goal… Just Never Miss Twice.
It’s okay to not floss your teeth tonight… Just Never Miss Twice.
It’s okay to choose rest on a weekend instead of working toward that personal goal… Just Never Miss Twice.
Obviously the interval of “miss” expands or contracts, dependent upon the parameter in focus (daily, weekly, monthly). You’ll find that your goals are more attainable when you have the freedom to leverage a “miss” as margin, enabling you to absorb the “hit” to your routine, and keep moving forward.
After all…
