Not Being Discouraged By Setbacks


I’m not one to complain much or be negative. But, I have my moments. This past week has been an interesting week to say the least. I had a setback that is making me rethink some things and regroup myself. It came out of nowhere. But, at the same time, I had a gut feeling that something was not right. Well…my gut instincts were right.

Sometimes we do the best we can and still not have things not go the way we want. There could be many reasons that this happens. One of those reasons could be that we are doing something that we really are not meant to do. It’s like going against the grain. But, it’s going your own grain. Another reason could be that there is a lesson to be learned that we just have not learned yet. So, we keep repeating the pattern. Kind of like a hamster in a hamster wheel running fast and getting nowhere.

So, where am I going with all of this? Well, I’m going to say that even though I have had a setback, I’m not going to let it discourage me. Sure, it sucks! But, it’s a part of life and we have to accept the fact that they will happen. We can’t control everything! But, we can do the best at what we can control! That is the key!

So, when you find yourself hit with a setback, just know that it’s a part of life, look for the lesson that there may be to learn, and keep moving forward! Nothing will come from sitting stagnant. And surely nothing positive will come from being negative!
