setbacks

The road of life is paved with daily successes, a great number of them penny and nickle triumphs. Sadly, these little feats are often seen as worthless__ven failures__ecause we dream of greater gain. Our greed keeps us focused on a gleaming pot of gold waiting at the end of some elusive rainbow. And, despairing a big loss, we fail to see the value in small achievements.

If you employed a strategy that is not conducive to the results you are looking for, then you will not achieve the desired result. You have to understand that it__ not you that failed; it__ just that you employed the wrong strategy.

A principled person__ greatest disappointment will always be his or her own failures to respond to setbacks in a dynamic and positive way.

On the road to nowhere there are many people who lack the vision to get you anywhere.

Every form of life must struggle. Life is an aberration; death is ordinary. Life requires obstruction, conflict, reverses, and resolve. Life requires questing. Questing provides the meaning that we seek, a purpose to justify the inevitable struggle to live knowing the absurdity that we must die.

The challenge is never based on the size of the obstacle that stands before me. Rather, it is dictated by the degree of faith that rests within me.

If we experience any failures or setbacks, we do not forget them because they offend our self-esteem. Instead we reflect on them deeply, trying to figure out what went wrong and discern whether there are any patterns to our mistakes.

Like everyone, I have my challenges__ut they sure don__ have me.

Setbacks are just stepping stones to great things.

When surrounded by the ashes of all that I once cherished, despite my best efforts I can find no room to be thankful. But standing there amidst endless ash I must remember that although the ashes surround me, God surrounds the ashes. And once that realization settles upon me, I am what I thought I could never be ... I am thankful for ashes.

Don't be sidetracked by one setback along a path of gifts and blessings

Are you worthy of realizing your dream? If you said yes, there is no short cut. You're going to encounter setback after setback until you realize your dream.

Almost every so called setback is an opportunity for growth, learning, self love, wisdom and humility

Without setbacks and mistakes, no experience. Without experience, no learning. And without learning, you__l never truly understand the awakening of your heart__ desires.

When setbacks arise - and they will from time to time - regroup, recharge, refocus and refine.

I don__ necessarily sit around inviting life to knock me down, but when it does I don__ wait around for an invitation to stand back up either.

A child thinks and acts like a child. But when you are grown, you act and think like an adult. Too many people are still childish and immature and fail to realize it's a setback in their lives.

And the man who dreamt of flight has tripped and fallen in a hole.
