Are they really setbacks?

Setbacks in life  are less about the starting over but the belief that the energy we have spent was wasted. So many clients say "if I had only done this ............. instead I would have succeeded."

I usually answer with "so why aren't you doing that now?  Have you died and I did not notice? "

 ( Go ahead,  check and make sure you have a pulse. I will be here when you get back.) :)

 I ask you, in the wide scope of the world was it really a setback or merely a refocusing of your energy and time? 

So many of our difficulties and setbacks are often exposed as less than they are  because with one small success the world is suddenly all right again and our troubles are lessened. We refocus our energies  and new possibilities immediately begin to rise up to meet us. 

Consider this the next time you experience a setback whether it is in your training, your home, or your life.  View it less as a setback and more of a stepping stone to the future.
