Appointment with Disappointment

09 17 10 Friday

I don’t know about you, but I have to work really hard in not allowing disappoint to turn into failure.  The times that I have been disappointed or disappointed others does not equate me as being a failure.

I have been the one doing the disappointing and the one being disappointed more times that I want to count and remember.  If you keep your hopes up and your expectations high disappointments are going to happen.  For me though, I have to really stay on my guard that I don’t let disappoint lead into a failure mentality.  Which can quickly turn into a depressed state of mind.  It can happen so fast too.  One minute I am cadillacing along and the next thing I find myself dealing with depressive thoughts.  When I start root tracking the depressive feelings more times than not they lead through the valley of failure right into a disappointment of one kind or another.  Once we start catching these thought processes we can prevent them from messing us up.  For me it would be understanding the disappointment, whichever way it may go, and immediately make a conscious choice not to let it lead to a failure mindset and then to the depressive thoughts.  Might be easier said than done, but it can and will be done.  I hope that this as spoken to you in some way.  It helps me a lot to write it out and get it out of my system.  Thank you for your time and your comments.  I appreciate and love each and every one of you! You are the best!
