How do we react under a challenge? As a Wealthy affiliate we sometimes get into a focused plan in which there is no room for distractions. But life is unpredictable and we often suffer from things like:

• Illness,
• Interruptions ,
• Vacations,
• Household breakdowns,
• Fnancial setbacks
• Death

These things can interrupt our plans and get us off our desired path enough to upset our flow of blogging and building our business.

Setback Mode

Whatever the reason we may find that puts us In “setback mode,” the important thing to remember is "are we going to act or react?" To act means we stay in control of our destiny, but to react means our setback controls us.

To act we must be prepared to start back up again taking control of our situation,

1. Re-evaluate our situation,
2. Reset our goals,
3. Slow down our pace ,
4. Outsource some tasks if necessary ,
5. ASK Questions of others

If we react we may think negative thoughts like "I can’t write, I’m no good, Why try"?

This will only discourage us to try to make us quit

Always

1. Keep taking action,
2. Maintain a positive outlook,
3. Move forward one step at a time

Hey, there's another acronym KMM. I like that.

Whatever you do, don’t quit! I remember people telling me when I was young

“ Winners never quit and quitters never win.”

That made as much sense to me the first time I heard it, as it does today. I suppose some people may misinterpret it, but it was reinforced by a poem I was given in my teens called "Don't Quit" I copied it and put it on my wall of my bedroom where I could read it everyday. It was a great help to me then. as it is today.

Here it is:

Don't Quit
by
John Greenleaf Whittier

When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is strange with its twists and turns
As every one of us sometimes learns
And many a failure comes about
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow—
You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out—
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell just how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit—
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

This poem has been so true so many times in my life. You never know just how close you are to the victor's cup. Discouragement iis your worst enemy. Treat it as such and think positively.: "Wow, I must be close to success, because somebody sure doesn't want me to continue."

A few months ago I wrote a blog entitled "Believe In Yourself" You can Read it Here

Remember to KMM.

Be a winner!
