Journal Notes

All of us here on the Blog today are definitely familiar with this emotion which is common to all.  Disappointment involves the feeling of sadness or displeasure caused by the non-fulfillment of one's hopes or expectations.

If you have ever hoped for or expected something and were disappointed because you did not accomplish or receive your hopes, wishes, or dreams, then you will understand that it is an emotion that sometimes causes a person to become withdrawn, feel sad, or in worse cases ~ feel hopeless.

What is it like to feel the emotion of disappointment?

Have you ever been disappointed?  If you have, then you are also aware that the feeling of disappointment can dim your hopeful outlook on life.

Disappointment can come from many different causes.  You may be disappointed by someone you hold in high regard.  Or you could be disappointed because you have waited for something that never arrived ~ a promise broken ~ trust destroyed ~ wishes unfulfilled.

What you can do to turn your disappointment in your favor is to change your outlook about it.  Sometimes disappointment is not meant to make you feel bad.  Sometimes disappointment is something you will be very happy about in the future.  What you may have been hoping for or wising for may have been the very thing that would have devastated you.

Here's what you can do ~ make a list of the things that you are disappointed about, and then really stop to think about if those things are really for your well being?  How can those things benefit you?  Is it for the short-term or the long term?  Then ask yourself why is what you want so important to you?

After you have done the above, ask yourself if there is a replacement for whatever it is that you are hoping or wishing for?

You'll find that many times disappointments are blessings in disguise.
