Dealing with setbacks
Recognize your reality. Take stock of your current condition including all factors that feel out of your control. Evaluate your position. Ask someone who cares about you. Be prepared to hear some hard answers. Don’t get defensive, take in the feedback. Assess potential exit routes. Make a list of feasible actions that can take you toward your goals. Choose a direction. Pick some from your list and go full force on those. Remember, setbacks are setups for comebacks.
