Dealing with Disappointment
You work hard, day after day.
But sometimes you feel like you have little to show for it.
Disappointment.
You outperform others, time after time.
Yet they get rewarded.
Disappointment.
You do everything you’re supposed to do.
To no avail.
Disappointment.
You crave BIGG success with all your heart and all your soul.
Heck, even just plain, old, ordinary success would do.
But it eludes you.
Disappointment.
You feel your heart sink to your toes.
That comes right after the kick in the gut.
It hurts. You hurt. All over.
Disappointment.
You’re exhausted – physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Sleep. Maybe that’s what you need.
But you wake up to the same reality.
Disappointment.
How do you deal with disappointment?
There are a number of ways. We’ll share three thoughts in our time today.

Be grateful
Sounds odd, doesn’t it? But you have lots of things to be happy about.
Start with you. Be thankful for how awesome you are.
You’re a winner. You know it.
You may feel a little down, but you’re not out! No disappointment can do that to you.
You will win. You will get what you want. You will reach BIGG success.
It’s only a matter of time.
Grow stronger
Don’t lose your belief in the underlying magic in the world.
Don’t give up on your belief in the forces that will lead to your ultimate victory.
BIGG success is a destination. But it’s also a journey.
See disappointment for what it is – an opportunity to grow stronger. Seize that opportunity so you’re ready for bigger and better things to come.
Look for a sign
A beautiful flower may bloom from the seeds of disappointment. Sure, you feel like the color is gone from your world right now.
But keep the faith. You will create a colorful life. Disappointment may be giving you a sign.
It may be telling you that you’re on the wrong track.
You need to do something else.
It could be saying that you’re trying to do too much.
You need to focus.
Remain open to your intuition. It will help you determine your best path.
Reach out to your support group to see what they think.
Be willing to adapt if necessary.
We’ll close with our own paraphrase of a passage from The Science of Getting Rich, by Wallace Wattles. This is the book The Secret is based on.
You may expect a certain thing at a certain time. If it doesn’t come, you may feel like you failed. But there is no need to feel this way. Keep the faith and you will find that it only appeared to be a failure.
Keep doing those things which successful people do. Disappointment today leads to even more success tomorrow that you would have ever expected.
Soon you will see that the apparent failure led you to BIGG success!
