God has good plans for you…

"He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?"

Romans 8:32

Feature Story: How To Turn Setbacks Into Comebacks

We cannot control what happens to us, but we can control how we respond – and what we believe about the setback.

Knowing how to face trials proactively is one of the top skills in internet business… and in life.

Here are 10 steps to transform setbacks into comebacks.

1.  See it for what it is.
2. Remember God's plan for you (Jer 29:11 and Romans 8:28)
3. Ask good questions – questions that lead to helpful answers.
4. Be careful what you think, see, and say.
5. Notice what works; do more of that.
6. Notice what doesn't work; stop doing that.
7. Live in the now. Avoid depression and anxiety.
8. Move your body every day.
9. Put good fuel in the machine.
10. Fill your eyes with solutions.

Remember that pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional. (Matthew 6:34)
