— Madalyn Sklar ?#SMDayLive (@MadalynSklar) June 21, 2018
A6: Take a step back and review them. Perhaps the goals you set are no longer relevant, as your priorities have changed. Or life got in the way. Whatever the case, take a breath. And in some cases you need to start from scratch. Forgive yourself and move forward. #TwitterSmarter
— ⭐ #GoalChat ⭐ (@GoalChat) June 21, 2018
