We are all vulnerable to setbacks, disappointments and hurts.  That’s part of the uncertainty of life.  How you respond to these setbacks determine how satisfied you are with your life.

You can’t control your circumstances, but you can control your response to them.

Next, choose one of the six solutions that apply to your situation and implement it.
