We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated. – Maya Angelou

Don’t be defeated. It’s kind of ironic that is what today’s post is about when I am feeling incredibly defeated lately. I’ve suffered some setbacks lately, also known as defeats. I’m not letting those defeats define me, and I’m not letting them defeat me.

Setbacks, defeats, roadblocks, whatever you want to call them, they happen.  They happen to all of us. You can face defeat, but don’t be defeated. The struggles that we face may want to cause us to give up. Don’t be defeated. Don’t let the struggles stop you from regrouping and moving forward. That’s what I’m doing. As I said, I’ve faced some defeats lately and I’ve been feeling incredibly defeated, but I’m telling myself, and I’m telling you, don’t be defeated.
