Life is filled with occasions that lead to disappointment. You are passed over for a promotion at work. A trip you have been looking forward to is cancelled. Those last few pounds you’ve been struggling to shed just won’t budge.
So, what is disappointment? It is the feeling of sadness or displeasure we choose to feel when our hopes or expectations are not met. Rather than feeling like a victim, take your power and responsibility back! No other person or circumstance need hijack your emotions.
Acknowledging how we feel is the first step in turning things around. Observe how you feel but stay in control of your emotions so they don’t overwhelm you. Then, notice if there is any action that could have been done differently. It’s surprising how our disappointments offer us a chance to view things from a fresh perspective. Wonderful, exciting new ideas are often born from these situations when we look beyond the limitations of how we think the outcome should be!
We are always learning about ourselves and the way we handle life’s curve balls. Sure, we can give up and throw in the towel. And that is a valid choice. Or, we can get up, dust ourselves off, and keep going. Often, with a little setback, we are able to gain a much clearer view of what we really desire, and with a few minor adjustments, we can plot a new course of action!
As Albert Einstein stated, “Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.” So, choose a different approach! Don’t let any disappointment cast a shadow on your dreams and desires!
