It Doesn't Matter
"It doesn't matter..." used to be The Rock's catch phrase when he was wrestling in the WWE. And it is such a good mantra to adopt especially when things are not going well for you.
At times, we will take action towards something we want to create and we won't get the result we expected. It will serve a person greatly to say "It doesn't matter" and then say "Next". That way, you are telling yourself that you still want the result you are going for and will do whatever it takes to reach it.
A good example that happened recently is in the American NBA, http://www.nba.com/ where one of the superstars, Lebron James, had been struggling from the free throw line. He came up with a new phrase and said that he was in 'Strugglesville'. He knew that all he had to do was keep taking those free throws and shift his focus from his apparent inability to make free throws consistently to actually making them. In other words, it didn't matter that he was missing them. That would pass by. And now, a couple of weeks later, he is out of his poor shooting form and is getting back close to his regular free throw percentage.
By saying to yourself that is doesn't matter when things don't go your way, you are giving yourself permission to make mistakes and that is okay provided you learn from each experience. Adopt that mantra and notice the difference it makes.
