You're three weeks into your goal. Maybe it's getting healthier, building a business, or finally sorting out your finances. You were pumped at first: but now? Now you're tired. Progress feels invisible. And that little voice in your head is whispering, "Maybe this isn't for you."

Here's the thing: quitting isn't a character flaw. It's what happens when your mindset hasn't caught up to the hard work you're putting in.

You've probably been there: scrolling through Instagram at 11 PM, watching fitness transformations and business success stories, feeling that familiar surge of "Yes! Tomorrow I'm going to change everything!"

Understanding how fear of failure develops and how it shows up can help you respond in ways that protect motivation and resilience rather than undermine them.

Inner dialogue shapes how we experience our day-to-day lives. It is the continuous stream of thoughts and self-talk that interprets events, anticipates outcomes and guides our decisions. Although often automatic, inner dialogue can be influenced, tuned and refined. When it is balanced and supportive, it helps with problem-solving, emotional regulation and motivation.

Self-value is the quiet foundation beneath choices, relationships and daily habits we endeavor to have with self and others. It shapes how we treat ourselves, how we respond to setbacks, and what we accept from others. When self-value is intact, decisions align with your long-term well‑being rather than short-term approval…

This is not a casino, where the odds of winning depend on the casino(sheets rigged!). Naw mon amis, this is you are the odds, and the evens, and the outcome. Push all in your favour I say. See the outcomes as you stack the odds in favour of your win. You're not playing your life for a chance at the outcome to win. No, you know you're going to win, its just a matter of time. Proper planning, and giving yourself the chances, as you place your change in the slot of a game you call '“ life,” and pulling the handle to your destiny you are trying to craft. It's your game that you're building here. Why not build it so you could win it.
