Gratitude for Setbacks..

Most of us, when we try something new, change a habit, or attempt anything worth attempting, run into those little things called setbacks. What happens when you hit a bump in the road? Do you throw a tantrum? Give up?

Try looking at the setback from a different perspective. Setbacks can be great teachers if you let them. It's widely known, for example, that Thomas Edison had 9,999 of them before he successfully found a material for the light bulb. If you examine any person that is great at what they do, you'll see the same phenomena.

So, the next time you try something that is new, or change something you've been wanting to for years--remember, the setbacks are your teachers. The more of them you hit, the closer you are to success.

Be well,

Dave
