The Setback Is Not the End - It's a Turn in the Road

There is something you have been calling a setback that is actually a turning point. You have been looking at it wrong. You have been calling it failure when it is actually redirection. You have been calling it defeat when it is actually the universe telling you that the path you are on is not the path you are supposed to be on. And I know that does not feel like comfort right now. I know the setback feels like the end of something. Like the closing of a door. Like the loss of a future you were counting on. Like the death of the version of yourself that was going to arrive at that destination. It feels like everything you worked for is gone. And I am not here to tell you it is not gone. It is gone. The thing you wanted did not happen.
