We are halfway through 2014 and I can’t believe it! This TuesdayTopics (1)year has been amazing, there have been highs and lows and I must say that I am learning how to deal with the lows of my life much better. If I were to summarize what I have learned this year, it would come under the caption of disappointment. In everyday life, whether it is related to career, relationships, or our family life, nothing turns out exactly as we may expect. Sure situations can be trying, but what makes or breaks us is in part how we respond to them. I’ve learned that setbacks in life, don’t have to be viewed as setbacks. With a different perspective, setbacks can become setups for new opportunities, new goals, new ideas, and new experiences.

Setbacks become what we choose them to be. So, how do you handle disappointment? How do you view setbacks?
