​Setbacks–those unfortunate events that impede our progress toward achieving our goals or realizing our dreams–can be frustrating, as well as stressful and painful. As unwelcome as they are, setbacks always have a silver lining because they force us to look at the world through a new set of eyes. As a result, a setback could be the very event that paves the way to your greatest accomplishment. For example, how many success stories have you heard of where the successful person said something like, “If I hadn’t been fired from my job, none of this would have happened?” So, the next time you’re hit with a setback, instead of becoming upset or distraught, look for the silver lining. Say to yourself, “I wonder where this experience is going to take me?” You could be on your way to the greatest accomplishment of your life!”
