Getting back up after a setback advice?

In hard situations in life that we all go through, can anyone give me advice on how to push yourself to succeed and achieve your goals after being stuck in a rut after hard situations. Please be descriptive in terms of giving examples or motivation... thanks in advance!

Well let's just put it this way if I can do it so can you.

I was set on fire a year and a half ago. 25%of my body had burns most of it was second and third degree. I had major skin grafts done and was not allowed to move for a week. By the time I was allowed to move I couldn't. I had to learn how to walk again. The pain was so bad I was on major meds. I felt so alone so useless so broken. I just about lost my life the night I got lit up. What kept me going was positive thinking and telling myself that I want to do the things I love again. I want to live instead of survive. I want to be there for my brother and spoil my niece and nephew when they have one. I want to enjoy the sun coming up and going down. I want to enjoy the small things and I want to make a difference. Ya it may seem dumb or pointless but that is what got me through. Over the last year and a half I have done so many things that I have never done before and have been enjoying my life for what it is. I appreciate and am thankful for all the people in it because without them I would not be where I am today.

Basically what I am trying to say is find out what is important to you and build on it. It may not always be easy but that is what makes it worth it. Think about what is important and what things mean to you. Hold on to those goals and dreams and take baby steps to achieve them. Next thing you know you could be in your dream job or traveling the world. You never know. Don't be afraid to change your goals and dreams. Just do me one favor. Don't ever give up and do things you want to do and don't let anyone tell you that you can't. Because if I can learn how walk again and be happy and comfortable with my scars knowing they are a constant reminder of what happened, you can do this. Just believe in yourself and trust yourself. If you can do that then nothing and nobody can take that from you. Everyone is made for greatness, you just have to find yours😃
