I don’t depend on my own strength to accomplish this; however, I do have one compelling focus: I forget all of the past as I fasten my heart to the future instead. (Phil.3:13tpt).
Who has never had a setback?
Where are those who refuse to be beset by setbacks?
Most people are so bugged down by setbacks that they have refused to bounce back.
It is not uncommon to be disappointed by the occurrences of setbacks however, make a resolve not to sulk or be kept down by these unpleasant occurrences.
Setbacks are distractions and indulging them won’t allow you to get the traction you need to move forward.
The way you look at what you’ve been through matters far more than what you’ve actually endured. Selah!
Your perspective on any given situation is far more important and impactful than what you went through - this is the marked difference between those who move forward and those who remain stuck.
The resilient person understands that reinforcing doubts and negative or limiting thoughts is a vicious cycle that’s prohibitive to growth.
In other words, reframing a given situation to look for lessons and learning opportunities sets you up for success as opposed to establishing you in the pain and regrets of the past.
Reframing requires us to examine our assumptions, beliefs, and values; to emotionally adjust our attitudes and harness our feelings; and to cultivate new daily habits and routines. It isn't an easy process. It is a life-changing process - this my friend is the key to thriving inspite of what life throws at you.
Intentionally cultivate gratitude as this helps you gain right perspective and deep respect for the process in your journey to conforming into the image of Christ - where you live more fully, laugh more deeply, and love more authentically.
You're loved and BLESSED!
