Managing Disappointments

Yikes! You know how it feels. You've done all your preparation, you put your heart and soul into it.... and then NOTHING!  You show up, but where is everybody?!!  Or, you thought everything was going great and in your favor and then BAM!.....nope, not happening.  You may want to curl up into a ball and cry or beat a few pillows.

Although you might still need to do that, I think the best way to handle this is to approach life by simply putting your best foot forward - doing your personal best, speaking with clarity and sincerity and then letting go of any expectations to an outcome.  It makes it harder to feel disappointed when you step forward this way (although I know this is not easy for some of us who are hard on ourselves - which is me BIG TIME).  But think about it... if you did your best and you communicated with impeccability.... then...you've completed your responsibility successfully and that should be enough.  Okay.... or at least a helpful and healthy outlook when you don't get the results you were hoping for.

So go ahead - cry...beat those pillows...and lick your wounds. I completely understand. But at the end of the day, keep moving forward knowing you did your best and start to look ahead at new possibilities!
