  Disappointment Helps Put Things in Perspective 

  I am disappointed because the World seems to be conspiring against me… because nobody will listen to me… because everything I do turns to rubbish… because for some reason I can never do things right, and I struggle to understand the stupidity of my decisions and actions.

  And yet…

  I am fortunate because disappointment has given me time to reflect on how effective my expectations, decisions and actions have been; it has provided me with an opportunity to identify where I need to improve my level of knowledge, skill or abilities; it has enabled me to consider a different perspective; and it has helped me to clarify if what I want is really what I want, or maybe it’s only what I THINK I WANT and therefore I don’t know why I’m feeling disappointed in the first place???

  Reassessing Disappointment 

  Should we really EVER experience the emotion of disappointment?
  Isn’t disappointment nothing more than a biased interpretation of events and circumstances?
  Isn’t disappointment simply an inability to think creatively and flexibly about our predicament?

  When I feel disappointed I immediately look for a solution; look for the seed of opportunity to learn, grow and become more as a result of this experience.
