Life setbacks

[Stonewall Jackson]

We all face them. The last three years I've been on a roll got a bigger apartment was looking into buying a house purchased a new car. Everything was going good today I get called in to the office. Long story short I levae out with a demotion and wondering how I am going to stay afloat. I guess I should be happy I got a job still my question is how do you deal with setbacks. What do you listen to read. Who do you go to for guidance when your world is suddenly turned upside down?

I always roll with it, because I have faith I will always land on my feet and I know that EVERYTHING is temporary. So make use of the time while you have the good stuff, and know that the bad stuff will also only last a certain amount of time.
Major upsets tell me I was on the wrong path, ignored all the small warning signs, so *someone* had to set that straight and get me off the wrong course. All lessons.
Love "setbacks" are another story.

Sometimes we have plans, but life has other plans for us. Just how shyt is. Getting past the emotions, the more important thing you should take away from it is [if possible]trying not to make the same mistake or one of similar nature that may put you in another compromising position.

Keep ya head up though, even life is temporary in the grand scheme of things, so a major setback can be looked upon as minor under the right light. Keep pushing breh.

I used to have set backs like on the daily when i was younger cuz i was too reckless with it.

So i decided to start planning more. I try to plan 5 or 6 steps ahead. I try to think of every possible outcome. That alone keeps setbacks to a minimum. Haven't had a major financial setback in almost 2 years. Not moving as fast as i would like to move, but i'm not going down and coming up like i used to either.


And when something out of my control sets me back i just accept it. I used to get real mad when shyt didn't go my way but i realized that letting outside sources effect your actions is retarded. You can't control anything but yourself and your actions. So when some shyt that you can't control happens just accept it and plan around it.

I was just talking to my friend about this. I'm jealous of a cousin cause she's got a FT job with a school & just became a coach... My whack ass retail job & me... I'm just ducking frustrated as fukk!!!! Like I'm out here applying for work & I'm not getting nothing in return. I'm just in my feelings... I told myself I wasn't going to be here (still working retail) at this time last year but I'm still there.

Drown in regret and wait until someone hits that reset button
