Dealing with Set-backs & Little Red Riding Hood

If you decide to leave the house, head over the hill and through the woods as did Little Red Riding Hood, you are going to encounter setbacks. There will be wolves along your journey. That is part of the journey. In fact, that is a principal reason we avoid taking new journeys; to avoid wolves. However, if you have taken the step, or take the step, just anticipate setbacks and obstacles. But be prepared to deal with them. The key to dealing with them is first, recognize what it is. It is a positive sign you are in motion. The setback was already there, you are just now encountering it because you are no longer standing still. Once you redefine it, adapt by getting the skill, help, draw upon your perseverance or whatever you need to get past it. This applies to a personal relationship, business goal, career, fitness goals, any journey you have chosen to take. When in doubt, remember the concept, "Lupus in Fabula," the "wolf in the fable". This is your own fable and without a wolf, your fable won't be much of a fable either. So see it as a positive sign that you are creating your own fable.
