Context: i am feeling reflective after running a race yesterday and finishing slower than i had hoped.
Putting in work to achieve a desired outcome, but coming up a bit short... you still worked hard and made a valiant effort! Go you!! You went for it and, all things considered, probably did a great job objectively; everyone else is likely in awe & wildly impressed by [insert achievement here]. We are our own worst critics. But we are also our greatest cheerleaders. Keep working hard and setting goals - and remember that a goal you set is just a goal that you set!! Hashtag character building
