@ Enkay – Glad you like it. Horace really puts it down here. Make you think what talents are lying dormant inside of you know do to the fact that adversity isn’t in your backyard right now.

Keep searching and you will uncover them!

In what I have came to learn, the difference between failure and success lies in the way we approach the adversity in life. We can either dwell on it or see it as an opportunity in disguise. Life is all about choices and what we choose determine our destiny. This could be the most inspirational article I have seen so far here. I think you have found yourself a very good niche to be in.

@ Adam - Yes. I agree. It is amazing once you come through a storm the lessons and abilities that you pick up during the journey to carry forward in your life. This is why I tend to call adversity an opportunity. It is an opportunity to reach deep inside yourself and make it happen! This is an invaluable opportunity that doesn't come when the sun is always shining....and we know it doesn't shine forever. Thanks for the comment!

Freddie,

I can definitely say that I would love for everything to go easily and that all my projects were successful with no resistance because well the would just be nice. However since that just doesn’t happen I thought I would tell you how right you are.

Setbacks can make or break you. If you let it get you down and are unable to work through it then it can really bring all your efforts to a halt. But if you can use it as motivation to keep it from happening again, or to overcome it you will be in a much better position and so will your endeavors.

@ Jeni – Alright, I am glad that I could be a positive factor in your life. Means a lot to me because I know you are a go-getter and that is who I want all my readers to be.

Say it again, sister…set backs don’t have to be permanent!

@ Word Vixen – LOL! You don’t seem to lack focus to me, but if you say so, then I say FOCUS!!! LOL! No, I know what you mean. At times, I feel like I have been working for myself for too long and need a corporate job to remind myself how lucky I am. Then a client will call and I quickly remember that I need to work on the Internet and not have a physical world business.

The 4 month vacation is unheard of around these parts, but now that we know it is possible. We can do it to!!!!!!

And focus is my biggest problem. I often think that if I can make it to working for myself, that I’ll occasionally pick up temp jobs, just to remind myself why I need to work hard.

I’m still just impressed all to heck that Jeni could do the 4 month vacation thing! That’s just awesome to me.

I'm flattered! But I do have to tell you, one of your earlier posts really had a big part in my quick "get over it- move on and do it better" attitude. I really think it's important to realize setbacks don't have to be permanent. Like Freddie Taylor says, thought is possibility- focus is everything and no matter what happens in your life, there is no reason you cannot bounce back... like a dynamo!
