Life is not
always rosy.
Sometimes it
can be very
mean! It can
serve you a
handful of
punches at
times. Unless
of course, you
are not really
placing enough demand on life. That is, being too
careful or not taking enough risk. So the question is
not “why is life so unfair?“ Or “how can we live free of
mishaps?” The question should rather be, “how can I get back up when life knocks me down?”
The best thing to do when life knocks you down is to
pick up the broken pieces and start moving forward
again.
Many however, tend to wallow in self-pity after a
major setback and seems not to know how to get
back up on their their feet again.
Based on a personal experiences, I have here 5
major steps you can take to get back on your feet and move forward when life knocks you down.

1.Take Time to Reflect: Adversity usually opens
our eyes to certain realities that we may not be
aware of previously. It exposes both our strengths
and weaknesses.
Reflecting and analyzing the whole situation usually
help you see them in good light. What if that business
deal that flopped was actually a means for you to cut
toxic relationships? What if that loss of job was an
opportunity for you to get empowered and become
your own boss? What if that seemingly “bad” thing
wasn’t so bad after all? Take a moment to think of the
possible good that could come out of the seemingly
negative situations.
If you don’t learn anything from your failure you
are likely going to fail the same away again. Every
failure holds a lesson for us.

2. Dust Your Dreams and Vision: Yes! You once had
those dreams and visions of what you wanted to
achieve, and right now it seems they are no longer
worth the try. But that’s not true. All you need to do is
to dust and give them a push again. Write down
those dreams, aspirations, ambitions etc. Remind
yourself again how important and significant they are
to you. That will serve as a motivation to give life
another punch. Remember you cannot embark on a
journey if you don’t know where you are going. You
need a road map and direction. Your vision gives you
that and keeps you focused.

3. Begin Again Where You Are With What You
Have Left: After a major setback, we usually feel that
there is nothing left, many often begin to feel
depressed to the extent of nursing suicidal
tendencies but that is not the way of winners,
winners take responsibility for their lives no matter
what happens. Taking time to reflect! Writing down
your dreams and vision again will help you find a
reason to begin again. All is never lost. Stop nursing
the thoughts of where you could have been and start
thinking of where you want to be. It is said once there
is life; there is hope. You have to find an inner
encouragement or motivation to get back up and
start again. A knock down is not a knock out and
you are not truly defeated until you’ve giving up.

4. What Do I Need To Do Differently?: The good
news about setbacks is that often they are an
opportunity to bounce back stronger. At this stage
you ought to have pointed out the reasons why it all
happened. What you did wrong, what you should
have done. Now is an opportunity to start better. Re-
strategize and give life another push. Ask “what do I
need acquire, stop or improve on”? Remember that
Insanity is to do the same thing over and over again
and expecting a different result.

5. Leverage Relationships: After a major setback
many usually get withdrawn. However, if you want to
get back on your feet and on track as soon as
possible, you need others. See how you can leverage
your relationships. Create new and valuable ones.
You will always need people. We all do.
