Disappointment in life is inevitable. Situations do not unfold as we expect, and outcomes are not what we had hoped or anticipated. However, having experienced a disappointment, what happens next?

To a considerable degree, it is all about perspective. How you choose to react or process the situation can make all the difference.

Some of us may be more inclined to wallow in the loss and to continually relive the disappointment. However, depending on the severity of the situation, and without a conscious effort to move on, it is easy to find yourself spiralling into a hole from which it can be difficult to escape.

On the other hand, if you choose to consider the loss or failure a learning experience, not only are you able to bounce back faster, but also there would be lessons learnt that could help you better navigate similar situations in the future.

Essentially, the experience would not have been a complete loss, although the outcome might not have been what you had hoped.

 

 

Best wishes and have a great day!
