In my past, my disappointments are varied, and sometimes self-created feelings of being overlooked: >Not making the Olympics >Not having the perfect body >Not being a sports model >Not having a photographic memory >Not meeting my husband in college like I envisioned >Not eating perfeftly >Not having my first book be a wild success >Not being invited to an event >Not being asked to speak at a conference or on a podcast show >Not having the perfect family or perfect parents >Not having a client reach their dreams >Not having a marketing launch go as planned >Not always feeling at my fullest energy level while pregnant >Not being as successful as ___________. >Not being able to change someone Disappointments are simply life experiences that can be reframed. PROCESS IT & POWER AHEAD WITH IT Understand what it is about the disappointment that you feel that is so jarring to you – what does it make you feel sensitive, vulnerable or exposed? Process these feelings, and then power through to more action and know that in every disappointment lies a compensation and a lesson on something – whether patience, perseverance, timing or depersonalization. If you decide that you will use your disappointments to power ahead instead of cower behind, then you have mastered the art of getting value out of disappointment. QUOTES ON DISAPPOINTMENT: We must all suffer one of two things: the pain of discipline or the pain or regret or disappointment. –Jim Rohn The principles of living greatly include the capacity to face trouble with courage, disappointment with cheerfulness, and trail with humility. –Thomas S Monson
