We will all have setbacks, as we travel through the pathway of life. It is easy to get caught up in what caused the setbacks, rather than moving past our setbacks. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in guilt, anger, and frustration, that we allow these hiccups to derail our future plans. We should recognize them for what they are learning experiences for the future.

Look, you will have ups and downs, you will have successes, and yes, you will have some, flat-out failures. So, when life bucks you, keep moving forward, get back on the saddle and give yourself permission to forgiving yourself. For, the longer you’re off your game, the harder it is going to be, to continue to move in a positive direction. Forgive yourself and move forward. It’s just a thought. Paul Steven Smith (Uncle Paul)
