Setbacks ~ a Fact of Life
Setbacks ~ no one wants it but everyone experiences it. Somewhere in your life you've may had to take a few steps back or start from scratch again. And then it hits you ~ your progress has taken a down turn! You want to give up, you have doubts creeping into your mind and you feel that it was all nothing but a waste of time! All while you're trying to cope with the high levels of stress you're experiencing.
There are changes coming and occuring in your life. The instability in your life that you are experiencing or will experience is due to growth for you, a lesson to be learned and the opportunity to stand tall and be strong again. Your biggest challenges will stare you in the face and expect you to fall down and grovel, to give up from within, to undo all you have done so far! But to stand tall even if you have had to take a few steps back is to declare that no matter what, you will continue to get stronger, to live a better life, to have your prosperity in every area shift to what you want and you will move forward.
This is your time to pick yourself up ~ Richard Branson comes to mind for this; no matter how many times he tried to ballon around the world he didn't do so without many setbacks, with being blown off course and of course crashing but his determination led to his strength growing and the actions he took kept inspiring him ~ yes, he is a billionaire who has amassed even more with all the publicity he received on a global scale but liken it to yourself and to the people around you who know and do not know you. Every time you stand up stonger, determined, giving it your all you prove to yourself and others around you that your strength in character far outweighs anything else.
You determine your life but more importantly your actions determine you and those around you. No matter what is thrown in your face persist with what ever it is you want, do not give up and for every set back remember there is a brighter future; things will and do change (even if would like it to change instantly!).
