“Progress over perfection” is a great motto to live by. Setting resolutions is about improving aspects of your life or achieving a life-long dream. With that said, these things take time. Incorporating new habits requires time and patience; it is a journey. We continuously grow and improve, and there will certainly be obstacles along the way, but so is everything in life. You should always aim for growth, but you must be prepared to face challenges and accept that there will be days when you will not be as motivated, and that is OK. If you are mentally prepared to hit roadblocks, you will be able to identify an obstacle and think of reasonable ways to overcome it, so that you can continue to work towards your goals without feeling defeated.
