Challenges that set me back cannot stop me.
At worst, they can only delay my success a little bit.
In the end, though, I know that I can attain great success.
I am confident of my abilities to overcome obstacles.
Sometimes a setback gives me a chance to advance my knowledge and see things in a new way, which results in achieving my goal even sooner than my original path may have taken.
My setback becomes the event that actually catapults me forward!
Sometimes what seems like a setback gives me a chance for adventure, like if my flight is canceled and I am stranded in a strange city.
I could get upset about it.
Or I could take advantage of my opportunity to take a mini-vacation and be a tourist for a day!
If I get stuck in a long traffic jam, instead of worrying about being late for an appointment, I can call ahead to reschedule and then listen to an inspiring CD.
This moment may be just the thing I need to discover a solution to another challenge.
There are some setbacks that can even serve to heighten my motivation to achieve my goal.
My optimistic attitude jumps in to tell me that I am capable, in spite of the setback, and I get through with more determination than ever before!
For these reasons, I resist the temptation to think of setbacks as bad.
In fact, I know that they are often good.
So I view them as an opportunity and look for the silver lining as I seek my solution.
Today, I intend to look for the silver lining in every challenge and view my setbacks in a positive light.
When has a setback turned out to bring you something good after all?
How often are you optimistic that you can succeed in spite of setbacks?
