Setbacks Even when Im working towards a goal with my best intentions, there are moments when I falter and suffer setbacks. How I react to my setback is what can make or break my determination and my will to reach my goal. If I choose to view a setback as a fatality... berate myself for my weakness... chalk it up as a failure and quit... then I have lost perspective and will never find a way to move forward on my path. However, if I look at a setback as a common occurrence that happens from time-to-time when striving to improve myself, my life, my world, then my logic and self-compassion work to my advantage and help me to continue moving forward towards my ultimate goal. I must remind myself to go easy rely on progress and not necessarily perfection. If I choose to give up, give in to my setbacks, what will I have accomplished a year from now? Ten years from now? If I learn from my setbacks, and find new ways to push past the character flaws that hinder me from reaching my goal... a year from now... ten years from now... I will see emotion, physical and spiritual growth and my possibilities become endless. Dear God, help me to see a setback for what it is: a stall but not a stop on my spiritual path.
