Acceptance of setbacks is part of the process from "summary" of The Willpower Instinct by Kelly McGonigal

Life is full of challenges, obstacles, and setbacks. No matter how hard we try to avoid them, setbacks are an inevitable part of any journey towards our goals. It is crucial to understand that setbacks are not a sign of failure, but rather a natural part of the process. When we face setbacks, it can be easy to become discouraged, frustrated, or even give up altogether. However, it is important to remember that setbacks are simply opportunities for growth and learning. By accepting setbacks as part of the process, we can shift our perspective and approach towards them. Instead of viewing setbacks as roadblocks, we can see them as stepping stones towards our ultimate goal. Setbacks provide us with valuable feedback, highlighting areas where we may need to improve, adjust, or recalibrate our strategies. In this way, setbacks can actually propel us forward rather than hold us back. When we resist setbacks or dwell on them, we waste precious time and energy that could be better spent on moving forward. Accepting setbacks allows us to acknowledge the reality of the situation and take proactive steps towards overcoming them. Instead of getting caught up in negative emotions or self-criticism, we can use setbacks as opportunities for reflection, adaptation, and growth. Moreover, accepting setbacks can also help us build resilience and mental toughness. When we face setbacks head-on and learn from them, we become stronger, more determined, and better equipped to handle future challenges. By embracing setbacks as part of the process, we can cultivate a mindset of perseverance, optimism, and self-compassion.

Instead of letting setbacks derail us, we can use them as opportunities for learning, adaptation, and ultimately, success. So, the next time you encounter a setback, remember that it is not the end of the road, but rather a stepping stone towards your ultimate destination.
