My friend often says she has circular thoughts. As an example, she may think:

 

- I want to lose weight

- But I don't get the time to do so

- I want to lose weight

- I don't get the time to do so

 

And this circle weighs her down. IMO, people who cannot override setbacks in goals succumb to this. I think that if a person is focused on a goal, they should rationalise to themselves that this is the only path and nothing should dissuade them from it.

Could be the obsessive part of OCD. If it is its not a weakness. Rather, its an imbalance in the brain and hard to understand.
