How do you handle setbacks? Would love to hear your thoughts
Life is never meant to be linear! There will be ups and downs along the way. There will be moments of glorious victories and also there will be moments of heart wrenching disappointments. These moments are critical, because what you do in these moments can determine your ultimate destiny.
Look at lives of your role models. Never has anyone lived a life not ridden with setbacks. But they used these moments to rethink, reflect, restrategize, course correct & then bounce back stronger than ever before.
They did not waste their energies blaming others, circumstances, destiny but rather went within, to regain control, never losing faith in their dreams and in themselves.
These lessons are important in business & life, because there would be setbacks & it is not about having the perfect plan, but about your ability to take setbacks in your stride, learn your lessons fast, collect your energies and bounce back.
Never ever give up or lose faith in yourself, because the best only comes to those who are willing to trust themselves and relentlessly move forward!
When you have a setback, you need not take a step back. Prepare and get ready. Charge yourself. Every setback is nothing but a setup for a great comeback.
Se back is relative and just another event in life. Roadblock is slightly more stickier like being caught on melting tar walking on the road. Makes one feel stuck, impedes progress and movement preventing one from going forward. Defeats are major setbacks. They're like being in a boxing ring and being hit by a "knock-out," punch falling down dazed and being counted.
Many people suffered this on the day when Satyam Computer Services, Chairman
Mr. B. Ramalingaraju, confessed a financial fraud. Everyone in the organisation suffered a huge set-back. It was like a bolt from the blue. People recovered sufficiently but we're traumatized.
No point blaming anyone, setbacks happened to even successful people like Steve Jobs.
Things that can help overcome setbacks, roadblocks or defeats :
Don't panic.
Give yourself time, have faith and self-belief.
Get familiar with "failures," they needn't be the best or a good friend, but, a friend, as failures teach invaluable lessons.
Cut yourself some slack (but don't let go off the rope).
Regain lost control as soon as possible.
When life "knocks" you down "get up." If it knocks again, get up again.
This is how we learned to overcome setbacks, roadblocks and defeats.

Life is full of ups and downs. The successful person is one who doesn't lose hope and keeps on struggling for a better future.
Very true...Mmasim
This is really true, but still many people don't understand it. There's no point dwelling on the past experiences you had, just get up and keep going!
As Gary Vaynerchuck would say: "The answer to everything is; And?"
It doesn't matter what happened to you, or your family/friends. You might be sad right now, and it's completely normal to be sad, but you need to remember that there's literally no point making up excuses and dwelling in the past sh*t that has happened to you... I can guarantee, there has been someone in this world that has experienced the same stuff you have, but now he/she is successful because he/she got up.
