/ \ Temporary setbacks are just that - temporary. They do not turn into permanent failures unless you give up and allow them to become your destiny.
Setbacks and failures simply mean that you have been trying to do something. When you don't get the outcome that you want, refine your approach and try something different.
You are never defeated until you quit.
You are never defeated until you decide to be.
You may have made some mistakes, and you may not be where you want to be, but that's got nothing to do with your future.
Your mistakes are little more than a part of your education. Yes, you have to deal with the consequences of your mistakes.
And yes, they can set you back and be a pain to deal with sometimes. But they do not define you, and they certainly do not have to direct your future.
Learn from your mistakes and deal with the consequences of your mistakes, then move on knowing you have gained wisdom.
Don't let your mistakes hold you back or affect your future. You start with a clean slate each and every morning. You, and only you, get to decide which path you will take from this point on.
Maybe it is time to get past those mistakes and make a firm decision about the direction of your future.
