1.  Accepting setbacks that happen and are out of our control. 

2.  Focus on the present moment. Don’t dwell on past failures, mistakes or worrying about future outcomes.

3.  Adapt to different plans and/or expectations in every situation. What we think might not always be the right thing.

4.  Take a mature look at the situation; learn from the experience and improvement for the future. Of course this is almost impossible when you are going through a rough patch!

5.  Most importantly, WAIT for God's timing. He could be protecting you from something you don’t know about. God’s timing and our timing don’t always match up, but he knows what is best; so trust HIS process. Surround yourself with people that continually lift you up and guide you in the right direction.
