Have you ever started strong on a goal, missed one day, and then thought, “Well, I ruined it. Might as well quit”? Carmen Herbert shares a personal experience that taught her a valuable lesson: progress isn’t about perfection—it’s about perseverance. A year goes by fast, and what you do with it matters. So if you mess up? Start again. Don’t let one mistake erase months of effort. This year, commit to your goals—and when you stumble, just keep going.
