Disappointment is a way of life. I see disappointment as an essential ingredient for life's journey. It's not always bird of roses. Disappointment is an appointment that is met up which results to a failure not to meet up with the standard. You can be disappointed in football match and others.
Disappointment is a feeling of frustration or sadness when expectations aren't met or when hope is dashed. There are so many causes of disappointment. I would also share an experience how I was disappointed and how someone disappointed me as well.
What are causes of disappointment?
- Any moment or time that one's desires aren't met would result to disappointment. As humans, we are filled with many desires and aspirations of what we want to achieve or attend. When such thing didn't play out as expected, it's called disappointment.
- The next one I would like to share is when there is separation or rejection from someone. For instance, those into relationships when one partner refuses to keep to the terms and conditions of their agreement could result to disappointment.
- Some times when our goals aren't achieved could lead to disappointment. I knew of a lady that almost committed suicide because her plans didn't work as she wanted.
have I been disappointed before?
As I earlier stated, disappointment is part of life. I have been disappointed in several occasions and at different times. There's this organization i worked with, they are into training and coaching. I had high expectations on them but I was quite disappointed the way they rendered certain services in my presence. I encouraged one of the staff on what to do subsequently but she couldn't take heed to it. I attended their workshop severally but no improvement. I was really disappointed with the whole administrative process.
I was also disappointed at some of goals for last year because I couldn't achieved all of them. I never wanted it to cause havoc if i kept reflecting on it.
I have caused disappointment to many. There are some disappointment that turns to blessing.
Conclusion
One of the ways to cope with disappointment is to have self care, adjust expectations and make it flexible. This would go a long way to help in coping with disappointment. Disappointment meant turned to be an appointment for another. Thanks.
