Sometimes we’re afraid, even petrified of life’s challenges and setbacks that sends us on an emotional roller coaster. We hide our fears from family and friends to protect our privacy.
Austin’s daughter applied and participated in a volleyball at school. Though she was a good at her game, she was not selected. She was devasted and figured since volleyball was her life, there was nothing else to do. What the young volleyball player didn’t know realize, she had suffered a setback.
A setback is a temporary delay or obstacle that slows down your progress toward a goal, rather than a permanent failure.
Disappointing Setbacks
Setbacks come in different forms. It may may be:
- Job loss or layoff
- Being overlooked for a promotion or a team
- Injury or health issue
- Financial woes
- Transition of a personal relationship such as a divorce or loss
- A Missed opportunity
- Failing an exam
- The effects of a natural disaster
These issues should receive your attention but they should not receive your surrender.
Grieve. Reflect. Ponder.
Then bounce back and continue your journey. It’s in confronting it that we are able to overcome it.
Keep going. Don’t stop.
What’s holding you back? Do share. We would love to hear.
