I love the saying "Life is full
of setbacks, Success is determined by how you handle setbacks" and it’s so
true as I have learned through my whole life of these irritating
"setbacks". Of course as I get older and face more and more of them I
am learning how to better myself through theses annoyances such as now starting
our new venture Crossroads with my beloved friends Kim and Aymii. Holy setbacks
just last night! Finding the perfect piece of property, bidding on the perfect property
the emotional highs and lows uncertainty and pure excitement racing through
your body at the same time...you celebrate...and then 2 minutes later running
around like headless chicken cause there is a last minute email you just read
from your wonderful realtor that the paperwork was revised and needs to be
signed and sent back in ASAP!!! And you say HOLY S#@T WHY WHY WHY????!! why can’t
anything ever go smooth! Well, I guess it’s because there is always a lesson
involved however, it seems that things always works out somehow, and yes, it
worked out. As I was leaving Kim’s house last night, my minds thoughts were, the
three of us were celebrating that fact that our money situation would work. I
read the "urgent" email in just enough time for me to get to Kim’s
house to sign and fax updated paperwork and Carole's delayed text message
stating all was good to go and I was clear to head home gave the storm passing
over us just enough time to end and return home before dark, so yes, it all
worked out until a new setback that may present itself today! I end with saying
I believe if things don’t go your way we must trust in some way that every
difficulty carries within the kernel of an equal or greater benefit. Ask
yourself: “What’s good about this?”, “What can I learn from this?”, and “How
can I benefit from this?”
