Life will test you — with setbacks, unexpected detours, and moments that feel like dead ends. But roadblocks aren’t the end of your journey only a pause, a chance to regroup and come back stronger.

When adversity hits feel the frustration, then shift your focus to what you can control. Every setback carries a lesson — find it, own it, and use it.

Break big challenges into small steps, celebrate progress, and keep moving forward.

Resilience isn’t about avoiding obstacles — it’s about rising every time you fall. Trust that every roadblock is shaping you for something greater.

“You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it.” — Maya Angelou

I needed that reminder, if you know someone who does, pass it along.
