Have you experienced a recent setback? If so, look for the lesson that God is trying to teach you. Instead of complaining about life's sad state of affairs, learn what needs to be learned, change what needs to be changed, and move on. View failure as an opportunity to reassess God's will for your life. And while you're at it, consider life's inevitable disappointments to be powerful opportunities to learn more – more about yourself, more about your circumstances, and more about your world. Life can be difficult at times, and everybody makes mistakes, your job is to make those mistakes only once. How can you do that? This is by learning the lessons of tough times sooner rather than later. God is able to take mistakes when they are committed to Him and make them something for our good and for His glory.  ~Psalm 40:1
