It’s all a journey to an end goal. set back is an obstruction in the way on the path I’m taking along my journey To the goal. So of course it’s part of the journey but It could have been completed faster. So my question is , how important is speed on you’re journey.
Are you purposefully taking the scenic route. Or is there a deadline? Or Planned itinerary?
For me all journey cuz we all end up with the same ending. We’ll die. Never really know when or how but we wake up the next day and its just another setback to that final goal.

Most big achievements are going to come with failures and setbacks and obstacles - that's normal and to be expected. You often learn more from your failures than from your successes, and early failures can save you from larger ones later down the line.
Successful people all understand this, which is why they don't give up. They understand that failures are an expected part of the path to overall success, and while you should strive to avoid failures, all achievements require some level of risk to be taken, and when you risk, you will sometimes lose.
Here's what the greatest basketball player of all time had to say:
Option A: Something in the way of my goal. Sorry, but I'm not that optimistic and I've had WAY too many setbacks and bad luck situations in life to just call them "happy accidents." Life is not some big cosmic pre-ordinated set of events determined to make you who you are. The galaxies and stars and planets make operate by an orderly rotation, but MOST of the universe is random, chaotic, crazy, dark, empty, and you can't see any of it coming. When something bad happens to you, it isn't "fate." It's just more random bullsh*t in a dark cold empty universe.
The journey through life is not linear.
We will have setbacks, spirals, and backtracks. It's all part of the experience.
It's learning to overcome the obstacles that makes us better travelers.

setbacks are lessons learned, they're experience... they are chances to improve, it is the best way to know better as well
definitely a part of the journey and also key to actual success
having failed does not make you a failure... not if you apply yourself and overcome the hurdles because then, failure made you an achiever instead
that's how I see it anyway There are obstacles, and there are challenges. Obstacles prevent forward movement, while challenges are to be overcome and strengthen ourselves. Obstacles hold us back, while facing and overcoming challenges builds our self-esteem. How we label the situation becomes our reality and determines our effort and outcome. We're more likely to appreciate the results when we view encounters on our journey as challenges.
Setbacks and Failures are definitely a part of the Journey. In fact most success stories that we hear about actually have their fair share of failures and setbacks. But the key is to use the setbacks as a motivating tool to keep pushing and grow stronger so that you do eventually succeed. And the success that's earned from trying in spite of initial failure somehow feels even better to achieve.
Depends on the severity.
Like if you're training to be a runner and step on a landmine, it's okay to say that the journey is over and find a new goal.
You aren't required to bravely soldier on and become a disabled athlete. You can in fact accept your limitation and do something else.
So the question to honestly ask yourself, is if you're using your time well.There's different kinds of setbacks, most are detours in your path, some are walls you mush forcably push through. But they all are opportunities for growth.
Part of the journey.
The journey is never easy, it's full of ups and downs, but it's important to move and bounce back instead of letting setbacks bring you down. ☺️I meticulously plan for everything I can imagine in the way of a goal, so when I do hit a setback it can be more frustrating than it probably should be.
It’s in the way and is something that could potentially prevent me from achieving the goal. Definitely a negative thing.
I don’t think anyone out there has a smooth sail through its life journey. setbacks for me is often an opportunity for lessons and growth. At the end, it’s our mindset that will take us to the next chapter… as a positive thinker… even with the “awful” setbacks have taking me to greater opportunities.
great question for your age.
I see setbacks like scientists see mishapa failure, it's not even so much that it's a mishap or a failure but it is one way that you've seen something is not going to work and gives you the ability to try something different to make sure that it is accomplished. So setbacks and set you back what they should do is sit you down for a second allow you to recollect your thoughts and then attack again.
We learn best from our mistakes. That's why today's youth are getting a bum rap with "participation trophies", where everyone wins and no one makes any mistakes.. God help them later in life.
Constant redirection and move forward again..
Staying positive in the midst of the mess.I try to think of it as part of the journey, but I struggle with thinking of it as something in the way?
Is that bad?I see a setback as just that. A setback. It doesn’t hinder my goal or journey in any way. I just pick up where I left off and keep pushing.
Part of my journey 😊 and hey, congrats, you've asked your first question! 🥳
It depends on the kind of setback, honestly.
In some cases it's a part of the journey, like a steep hike or a fallen rock to overcome to get to the top of the mountain.I've said many times I have 2 speeds 100mph and STOP. 🤣
When I have a goal in mind I'm like a dog with a tennis ball I won't let go until I reach it. Or until it's soundly proven to me it's unachievable.I've been in the mindset of it being something in the way... Never occurred to me to think of it as a challenge within the journey. Thanks for the new perspective! I'll meditate upon this.
Sometimes you have to learn as you go and that's what a setback is.
Both.
There's no denying that a setback prolonges the journey much like an obstacle.
