Setbacks.

We all have them. Those little obstacles that we face every now and then. The ones that throw our "plans" off track. Screw us over, until we're sitting there asking ourselves, "what the hell happened? I thought I had life figured out, and now this. I have no clue what I'm doing."
They can come as often as once a week...whether it's a difficulty at work, a friendship that has distanced itself, or personal goals that seem farther away then they did the day before. We discourage ourselves by these struggles, instead of looking them dead on and seeing them as they really are. A test; one that we must pass to strengthen our desire to achieve what we truly want.  They must be looked at as a blessing in disguise. A lesson we learn in order to correct our mistakes, and become more aware of the warning signs that lead us to the toughest of questions; is this what I really want?
You already know the answer, your heart has always known. Instead of running for protection, to safety...handle the problem then and there and stop the anxiety before it ever gets the chance to eat away at you.
