I experienced a pretty major setback one day.  I knew that I wanted to make peace with this event.  Fortunately, through a slow process, I was successful to make peace with it.  I then realized that perhaps it wasn’t a setback afterall.  This event gave me an opportunity to slow down and review a certain area of my life.  As part of this self assessment, I rediscovered my strengths/weaknesses and layed out a plan to address the latter. 

I can now say that I am grateful for the setback, as it opened my eyes to an area that I needed to address.  Therefore, this incident, which initially seemed a setback, was really a ‘setforward’.

Have a great week.
