Who is in Control? You or Disappointment.
As I look back over my life, I realized that I had had many disappointments moments. I have been a disappointment by family, friends, teachers, pastors, managers, co-workers, etc. It is normal; we are not perfect; we are human. I have made mistakes and decisions that have called others pain and some shame. The fact that I am not perfect does not give me validations to disappoint others.
However, disappointment has taught me how to navigate through life when things do not go my way. I learned that I could not control others, but I can control how I react.
We all have parents, but they cannot control our decisions; we have friends, but they cannot control our actions; we also have enemies, some known and unknown, but they cannot control how we react to them. Disappointment is a two-way street, and the road does not end because we get older or wiser, but it does give us the ability to learn how to adjust during those times.
The questions I ask myself am I going to allow disappointments to control me. No, my decision is whatever disappointments come about I must acknowledge it and then move on. I have the power to learn what does this disappointment means. In life, there is always a learning moment. It can be as simple as dropping your last egg on the floor. The next time you pick up an egg, you pay more attention to how you handle it, or it can be as complicated as the COVID-19, keeping us away from all things we enjoy. Each one of these has a learning opportunity that is associated with disappointment.
Now my question to you, how will you react to disappointment the next time:
Will you sit in it and allow it to smoother you?
Will you look at how you can benefit from it?
Will you get up and move and use it to your advantage
The guaranteed is that we will be disappointed again. Will you allow it to control you?
