Circumstances.

"When you’re tempted to think that circumstances have made you their victim, stop and reframe that thought. See the reality that those circumstances have given you immense opportunity." -Ralph Marston

Everything happens for a reason. We've all heard this and yet often times we forget this. Rather than feeling sorry for ourselves or thinking circumstances are working against us, we need to change our mindset and realize circumstances are actually working FOR us. They are there to push us harder and to force us to believe in ourselves more. Learn to embrace all circumstances and you will come out on top.

What circumstances are you viewing as set-backs in your life right now? Change your view and decide how you will use these circumstances to your advantage and remember, while the reason these things are happening to you right now may not be obvious, look at them in a more positive light and tell yourself you can get through this and you will be a better and stronger person in the end.
