The pedometer is a great visual reminder that every day is a chance to start again. Was yesterday a bad day? Did you fall into a fountain while texting at the mall and then find out that 1,000,000 people watched you do it on YouTube?

As someone who has been known to trip a time or two, I have great sympathy for this person. I once tripped over an electric cord at an outdoor party and brought the lights and the music to a crashing halt. Needless to say, my trip did not go unnoticed.

If you find yourself in a situation like this, you need to reset your pride to 00000 and step out in a new direction. Just don’t text and step at the same time.
