From each disappointment
It feels lousy to be disappointed, whether it is by other
people, by circumstances, or by your own mistakes. And yet,
in each disappointment there is also opportunity.
When a disappointment comes, acknowledge it and feel it for
what it is. Then quickly step away from it and take a more
objective look.
You'll discover that in the larger context of your life,
that disappointment can have positive value. Though one door
has been closed to you, many more have just been opened.
From each disappointment you can gain knowledge, motivation,
perspective and a more clearly defined purpose. From each
disappointment, you can learn much about life and about
yourself, much that will help you move on ahead.
When life lets you down, there is value to be found in that
disappointment. Quickly get back up and begin to live that
value.
When you go forward, you will occasionally stumble. And when
you choose to positively recover from those stumbles, you'll
move more quickly ahead.
