Getting beyond set-backs

Sometimes things just don’t go our way. It’s true in our personal as well as professional lives.

Somehow we need to find ways to get beyond it. It’s tough, though. We tend to dissect the issue. Could we have done something different? Did we make a mistake along the way? Our focus re-directs inward and stays there, sometimes making it difficult to move on. We can begin to feel sorry for ourselves.

So how do we move on? If the issue was caused by you or someone else, forgive. If it’s an issue beyond your control, forget it. To turn your focus outward, begin by helping others.
