Setback might feel like we are going backward not an opportunity to move forward. When we notice the thing we have been doing doesn’t work, it helps to pause, step back, and then take a different route - if we choose to see it the way it could truly serve us.
I recently parted ways with the coach whom I had worked with for years. It wasn’t easy for me. My departure wasn’t because of any mistreatments or conflicts between us, but because I hadn't learned and grown much for a long time.
Yes, learning and growth are what I looked for in coaching. Neither happened when everything I did was “awesome” and “great”.
We often think setbacks happen first, then we leap. But this could happen too: to embrace setbacks, we leap.
