Part of abandoning the all-or-nothing mentality is allowing yourself room for setbacks. We are bound to have lapses on the road to health and wellness, but it is critical that we learn how to handle small failures positively so that we can minimize their long-term destructive effects. One setback is one setback–it is not the end of the world, nor is it the end of your journey toward a better you. Jillian Michaels
About This Quote

When we do something and it does not turn out the way we imagined, we become disappointed and think it is the end of the world. As human beings, we fail sometimes and we need to learn how to deal with that. Some people will push through it and push through life. They will refuse to accept failures and losses because they feel there is no point in even trying.

However, without failure, we would never learn what it means to be human. We would never learn that sometimes our plans don’t work out or that we can still achieve our goals even with a little struggle. So while some setbacks are bad, they are necessary for us to grow bigger and better in life.
