setback a gateway to getting better

Today I made a self reflection on my life journey and I was amazed to how I was able to go through some of the setbacks in life and how I came out stronger. You maybe in such a season of a setback and wondering how you go through that particular situation. You may have given your very best and still it didn’t just work out, well just know you are not alone if you look around you there are things to give thanks too and trust me there are people out there with worser conditions than what you are going through.

The journey to success is not as linear as many think it’s. Cafe Santaviva was started after I missed getting a meal in the evening actually I and a colleague moved around the whole town and failed to get a meal, we had biscuits for supper. Till today we serve meals till late in the night just after that experience.

So how do we turn our setbacks to success;

Be positive

Our reaction to any setback is critical to the outcome there after. The question remains will you give up the dreams and hopes you had in life or you will pick up yourself and continue pursuing your dreams. Henry ford said; “Failure is only the opportunity more intelligently to begin again”

Learn

Learn from the situation because in this life we will always be students. Each obstacle will give you anew experience.

My former Executive director used to say that we are employed to create solutions. So as you are faced with the setbacks try to navigate through because these are usually obstacles in life.

I Hope this has been insightful.
