Good

0:04

Risings. I'm Brian, and this is

0:06

grateful Grains. I

0:11

cannot believe tomorrow is already

0:13

New Year's Eve, the final day

0:15

of twenty twenty two. And today

0:17

is the final day of our week resolute

0:20

revisited. We got it started Monday

0:22

with a conversation on the power of the word

0:24

resolute. Tuesday, we talked

0:26

reflection. Wednesday, we got into

0:28

the execution by breaking our goal

0:30

down using the smart method. Yesterday,

0:33

we covered a few key practices that

0:35

help us stick to our resolutions. Today,

0:38

it's all about recommitting. Recommitting

0:41

perfection is a fool's errand. The

0:44

likelihood of success without mishaps

0:46

or setbacks is statistically unlikely.

0:49

What we have to be prepared for and what

0:52

we should find confidence in

0:54

is our ability to get back up again,

0:56

to dust off our knees, remind

0:58

ourselves why we chose this journey to begin

1:00

with, and continue up that mountain.

1:03

What's important to remember when it comes to

1:05

instances of weakness is that it's

1:07

not failure. Failure

1:10

is if our goal is never accomplished.

1:12

A setback is a setback, and that's

1:15

it. It's nothing more, it's nothing less.

1:17

Unless we give it the power

1:19

to influence our belief and our

1:21

ability to see our journey through.

1:24

As soon as we allow it to crack our foundation,

1:27

it can seep in and eat away at our

1:29

will power. And that's all about

1:31

perspective. We have to work

1:33

to remember that setbacks will

1:35

happen. Moments of weakness will

1:38

happen. That doesn't mean we welcome

1:40

them. But it does mean we prepare

1:42

ourselves to continue onward

1:44

once they do. Going and

1:46

believing we're going to get to the off of that

1:49

rocky mountain without tripping and

1:51

scuffing our knees. Well, it's just

1:53

not gonna happen that way. We'd

1:55

only be setting ourselves up for disappointment.

1:58

Without accepting the imperfection of

2:00

change, we'll be blindsided by

2:02

our shortcomings, and that will inevitably

2:04

leave us weakened by those instances when

2:07

our will power evades us. That's

2:09

when we begin to doubt our ability to succeed.

2:12

We begin to question our ability

2:14

to follow through. We can be

2:16

prepared for that feeling, that nagging

2:18

voice, that self doubt, We

2:20

shut it out by finding gratitude in

2:22

our success thus far and

2:24

our ability to choose what's best for

2:26

ourselves in the first place.

2:29

Remember, we haven't fallen back to square

2:31

one. Whatever period of time has

2:33

passed, whether two days, a week,

2:35

a month of success, Those days

2:37

don't disappear. Maybe when

2:40

we stand back up again, we set out to

2:42

beat our new personal best. Eventually,

2:44

those runs get longer. And no

2:46

one makes it to the top of the mountain unscathed.

2:49

It's whether or not they made it to the top of the

2:51

mountain at all. If we bow

2:53

to minor setback or allow moments of

2:55

weakness to define us will inevitably

2:57

believe we're incapable of success. Change

3:00

is a process. Renew

3:03

your motivation and recommit to

3:05

your pursuits each and every morning

3:07

and each and every night. We've

3:19

so enjoyed sharing this time with you on

3:21

grateful grades. Happy happy

3:23

New Year. We hope you find a way to celebrate.

3:26

We hope you find renewal and rejuvenation

3:29

in the New Year. Remember, you can find
