THE JOY OF SETBACKS

Sometimes in life, we come across potholes, obstacles, challenges that seem so overwhelming and threatening to veer us off the path of our vision and goals. We tend to give up and throw in the towel. We lose focus, we are destabilized, we are disoriented, we are confused and ultimately down tool on our dreams.

However, setbacks are part of life. They are meant to serve as checks and balances to see where we have gone wrong. Setbacks help us to re-strategize, re-focus and re-double our efforts in order to move forward. Setbacks are not meant to set us back, they are meant to serve as springboards for re-launch of our dreams and visions.

Anyone who does not experience setbacks in life can never understand or feel the joy of conquest.

Setbacks are necessary, they are important and useful to the realization of our dreams in life. The major thing we have to do is to ensure we 'imbibe' the right attitude. Setbacks can be seen by different people in different ways due to each person's 'frame of reference' comprising experiences, culture, religion, personal opinion and the likes.

Whatever your frame of reference, setbacks can either make or mar your progress in life. You however have the power to decide what you make out of every setback.

The ball is in your court!
