A Setback is a Temporary Condition

Motivational Power Quote

 

A Setback is a Temporary Condition

 

"Being defeated is only

a temporary condition;

giving up is what makes

it permanent."

Marilyn Vos Lavant

   

As I see it. . . . . . . .

A setback is a temporary condition 

Setbacks are opportunities to start over again with a fresh prospective. Use the experience that you gained in the setback as the spring board for your future opportunities.  

As challenging as a setback may be its only temporary condition, the only time a setback become permanent is when we quit.

Lou,

Those words ring true to me.  I always try to turn those experiences into opportunities to learn.

Lou.... You are always so wise.   Most of the great success stories have had their share of failures.   It's those with the tenacity to keep pursuing who see their dreams come true.

Lou, I need to hear quotes like this over and over again. Because n reality life is full of what could be called minor setbacks or "redirectings."

Very profound.  Often we have no choice with set-backs, they are due to circumstances beyond our control.  Whether we choose to throw in the towel, or keep plowing forward is up to us!

Another great one Lou! That quote is so true and we all should print it, cut it out and hang it on our desks, car dashboard and everywhere our eyes go! :)

Lou, are you a mind reader? I needed to read this one today. I've had a few setbacks lately that started to pull me down. I won't give up though because it's just temporary.
