Disappointment can be a very destructive emotion if you don\u2019t deal with it quickly. Disappointment is the devastating feeling of being \u201clet down\u201d or that you\u2019re going to miss out on something forever. Anything that makes you feel sad or defeated as a result of expecting more than you get is disappointing.
\nThe message disappointment offers you is that an expectation you have had\u2014a goal you were really going for\u2014is probably not going to \u201chappen, so it\u2019s time to change your expectations to make them more appropriate for this situation and take action to set and achieve a new goal immediately. And that is the solution.
\n1) Immediately figure out something you can learn from this situation that could help you in the future to achieve the very thing you were after in the first place.
\n2) Set a new goal, something that will be even more inspiring, and something you can make immediate progress toward.
\n3) Realize that you may be judging too soon. Often the things you\u2019re disappointed about are only temporary challenges.\u00a0 As I\u2019ve said, you and I need to remember that God\u2019s delays are not God\u2019s denials. You may just be in what I call \u201clag time.\u201d People often set themselves up for disappointment by having completely unrealistic expectations. If you go out today and plant a seed, you can\u2019t go back tomorrow and expect to see a tree.
\n4) A fourth major solution to dealing with disappointment is to realize that a situation isn\u2019t over yet, and develop more patience. Completely reevaluate what you truly want, and begin to develop an even more effective plan for achieving it.
\n5) The most powerful antidote to the emotion of disappointment is cultivating an attitude of positive expectancy about what will happen in the future, regardless of what has occurred in the past.
