Setbacks are just that - setbacks. They are not roadblocks. The minute we start treating them as such is the minute we accept our first failure as the be all and end all.
Success requires effort and lots of trying. Sometimes you learn the 'Don'ts' before you find the 'Do's'. Actually, you're lucky if your first attempt succeeds.
What makes a person of character is to see the silver lining in circumstances - to put forth the hard work and come up with a win when at first all you see is failures.
And a few quotes that coincide nicely:
"God can move mountains, but He may hand you a shovel."
"Pray like everything depends on God, work like everything depends on you." -St Ignatius
"Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work." Thomas Edison
