Another Day to Get Life Right

from Better Said Than Written Hosted by Tamika Cody

Welcome to "Better Said Than Written," the podcast that shares inspirational excerpts from books, essays, poems, and quotes that, when read aloud, just sound better said than written. Today’s excerpt comes from Paulo Coelho’s The Alchemist: “The secret of life, though, is to fall seven times and to get up eight times.” This episode is all about starting fresh. We made it to another year. And with every new year many of us set resolutions or goals for ourselves. Some of the most popular ones are getting back into shape, saving money, traveling, disconnecting from social media, working on a passion project or jumping ship into a new career. By the time you hear this episode the second Friday of the new year has come and gone. It’s a day referred to as Quitter’s Day. Research shows it’s the day most people give up on their new year’s resolutions. Maybe you’re one of those people who quit? I am not here to judge, I'm only here to let you know that giving up on your new year's resolution is not the end of the world.
