Disappointment

Definition of Disappointment: sadness or displeasure caused by the nonfulfillment of one’s hopes or expectations.

Disappointment never feels good. Weather can disappoint us, jobs can disappoint us, and people can too. I’ve disappointed myself and I’ve disappointed others. The truth is that humans make mistakes. We can’t always be perfect. I can honestly say, I don’t want to be a disappointment and confession time I fear being a disappointment more than most other things. ::insert sigh of relief here:: The best thing about sharing that is that I’m acknowledging and accepting my imperfections which helps me to better accept and understand those around me.

So how do we solve this?

The answer is simple, place our hopes in things that can’t disappoint us.

Here’s some ideas about things:

We can hope that we can grow, learn, and improve ourselves, and that we can make a positive difference in the world. We can also hope that we can overcome our challenges, fears, and failures, and that we can achieve our goals and dreams.
