Keep yourself accountable through it by writing down your progress, even daily, so you can see that you are in fact moving. And when you need to size up a blow, run it through four lenses — how much control do I have, how wide is its impact, how broad is the damage, and how long will it really last. Hold onto the truth that pain and suffering can lead to real growth — though only if your inner narrative is in order, for the same blow can also break a person whose story about it has gone wrong. — Failure & Resilience (Challenge/Failure/Perseverance/Accountability/Flexibility/Resilience)
