All of us have to face disappointment at one time of another. That is one sure pledge and simple fact of life. Not everything is always going to go smoothly in our life. How we handle disappointment says a lot about who we are and who we want to be. The true measure of an unbeaten person is one who handles that disappointment with grace and dignity. The last thing you want or need is constant focus on someone or something that has upset you. Disappointment may truly have thrown us a huge blow but still we have to move on so that it will not drag us down and lowers our self confidence. It's easy to get caught in a rut after getting hit with disappointment, pain and regret.
Am I upset about my life? You bet. Have I learnt a lesson? Sure have. Will I remember it? Sure will. After venting my frustration I need to move on too, otherwise my attention will be focused on stuff that only brings more frustration and sadness.
Having an attitude of gratitude always puts me in a better place. By the time I get through thinking of all the great people, experiences and blessings I am grateful for, I usually can’t remember what had made me so disappointed in the first place but of course that takes time too. Does time heal everything? Yes and no. Life is certainly ambiguous to begin with.
