All is not lost when you face a setback. Disappointment comes to all of us in various ways. Maybe we lose a loved one, maybe the car breaks down, or maybe we lose our job. But all is not lost.
It’s just the beginning when disappointment strikes.
Greatness does not arise in you when things are easy and when you have everything handed to you. Greatness comes when you endure hardship and face tests. You are strengthened by disappointment in ways that nothing else can shape you. So don’t run from hardship when it arrives. Soak it in and embrace the change.
Only if we visit the darkest recesses can we know how beautiful the climb toward the top of the mountain is.
Always give your best effort and don’t let discouragement or worry derail your energy in giving that effort.
