As we're approaching the halfway point for the year, I sat down to look at how my 2018 goals are coming along.   I do this monthly to hold myself accountable and make sure I'm staying focused.    But this time a flurry of emotions came over me as I realized time is ticking away.   There's only 6 more months left in the year and some of my goals I had hoped to achieve by the end of the summer.  I became overrun with disappointment, guilt, and embarrassment.  Everything in me said "You are failing."
