Things will be fine.. eventually
How often do we use the phrase "Things will be fine?"
And how often do we tag "eventually" along with it?
It seems that we always begin on our ideas brimming with enthusiasm and burning with passion, but every so often, when we hit our head against a wall set in our path, we stumble and allow ourself to be discouraged. Note, we allow ourself to be discouraged.
When we feel that we'll missed an opportunity in life, stare at the missed opportunity again and have a look. You might be surprised at what you will find there. No one likes to suffer setbacks. That's precisely what makes them so valuable.
Every setback is an opportunity for you to get your own personalized supply of a special energy that will propel you forward. That energy is known as motivation. Think of how an illness can motivate you, like nothing else, to take better care of your health. Consider how a financial setback can provide the compelling motivation to be more financially responsible. What kind of individual, personal motivation can a family split provide you with? Or do you simply allow yourself to drown in these unpleasenties when they happen?
When a setback comes, the first priority is to deal with it and get beyond it. After that's done, and you've experienced it fully, you're blessed with an increased level of motivation and focus. So use the energy of that motivation to deal with the underlying cause of the disappointment you've just experienced. In your highly motivated state, you can easily take steps to immunize yourself against similar setbacks in the future.
Certainly you would never seek out disappointment, but when the setbacks do come, they bring with them a valuable, compelling, personally meaningful motivation. It's something you can use to great advantage. Things might not seem to be smooth flowing when they first happened, but if you could pick yourself up quickly, or allow yourself to be supported by your friends or loved ones, recover and re-motivate yourself, greater heights will become nearer summits. Eventually.
