What can you do next?

We've all faced setbacks, defeats, even bad luck. It is natural to get stuck ruminating on the why's and what-if's. How could other people be so uninformed? How could people ignore the obvious? How is it possible we got to this point?

It is reasonable to dwell on those thoughts for a while. But then it is time to get back to the important work and ask yourself:

What can you do next?

A simple question, but still a challenge! Researching and understanding other peoples' motivations is a start, but don't get lost in that - we're looking for actions WE can take. What can we do next?
