SET BACKS
22.jpg)
Every day of our lives we're faced with choices. Some maybe easy, others difficult. However the case maybe, we will have to choice one way or another how to deal with it when it presents itself.
In this journey called life, we often struggle with unforeseen obstacles that take us off course from time to time. How we deal with those hurdles will determine if we rise or fall.
These choices are important to the success of a thing, and it pertains to every area in life.
For those of us who have committed to live a lifestyle of fitness, sooner or later we run into a major road block called, "SET BACKS" or PLATO'S. This is where everything seems to come to an abrupt halt. Nothing moving or changing....just a dead stand still.
Have you ever experienced that in your career....waiting in line to purchase something. Perhaps even waiting on God to answer your prayers.... Well, I know I have experienced it many times within a day...so I've come to the conclusion these events are there to bring out the worse.... to potentially put on display our best......
Yes, sometimes we act like fools, when we have bust our behinds all week long to loose those precious two pounds come Sunday....and when we get on the scale looking for good results, we see no improvement or worse a weight gain....sometimes we go off on the deep end and say somethings we shouldn't....
We always are left to deal with it one way or another....It is always best to step away from the situation for a moment if you can, and take a deep breath and calm yourself. Then ask God for the best solution to remedy the issue...and wait for His response before you rush back into it.......
The point here is....we need guidance in life...we run around believing we have the answers to everything due to our life experiences...plain and simply, we don't all of the time...When we ask for help outside of ourselves, we open ourselves up to learn more in life....
There is not an area in life that we can not step back and become wiser in. If we take the necessary time to better ourselves, we can be enlighten and become a blessing to so many others........
SET BACKS don't have to break your back....it could possibly set you up for your very next blessing.....So the next time you get ready to hit the roof because something touched down unexpectedly....Step back, take a deep breath and as God to show you how to handle it, and to see the beautiful person you will become at the end of it.

Hi Lisa,
I enjoy reading your words of wisdom.These words reminds me of a quote that this old lady told me 10years ago."success is never ending and failure is never final."
Lisa,
Thanks for your encouraging words of wisdom and I truly take these words to heart. I too have encountered some very important struggles and hurdles. I am truly taking a deep breath, moving forward and taking one day at a time because I know God will work all things out for us to better ourselves, i.e., weight or other obstacles that may arise in our daily lives.
