Hello friends

Life is full of ups and downs and some times it can come with some little disappointment

What do you understand by Disappointment?

Disappointment is a state where you had expectations concerning something or someone and the expectations was cut short or the person did below your expectations or couldn't meet up.

At this point were the expectations wasn't met, the one who has the expectations can feel angry, uncomfortable, irritated, depressed but if it was a person who caused the disappointment, you could even feel betrayed and bitterness.

Disappointment is truly a bad feeling. No one ever felt Disappointed and was so excited about it. Some people say for every disappointment there is a blessing but guess what? It's not a great feeling at the point when it happened.

Humans are emotional being therefore the feeling of disappointment takes place. Imagining making plans for a project that cost you so much and at the long run the project failed or didn't meet up. Only the imagination of you spending that much will make you feel really disappointed. You may even tend to stay worried for days.

Have your ever been disappointed before? What caused it?

Yes!! I have been disappointed several times. I have experienced disappointment ranging from people to places and things.

I would share with you two disappointments I felt recently.

The first was few weeks ago, I was on a project with a close pal. Invested so much and planed to make sure it goes as planned. Guess what? We even prayed about it for many days.

Finally after the project we were expecting so much returns from it after the whole money and effort put into it, we got almost nothing. It was really a disappointing experience for me that we decided not to even talk about it. I felt like I lost someone. My heart felt broken. I have not fully recovered from it.

The second experience which was also very recent was a disappointment felt from a friend. I trust this person so much that I can virtually do anything to protect the peace around.

I got a call from this person needing my help, I went all out to make sure that it all sorted. Sometimes I see myself assisting in ways that marvel me yet am very fine with it probably because I just love to put people first before myself.

After the help rendered and all, I received an treatment from this person that I wasn't expecting at all, I expected an appreciation but all I got was an insult. Aah it got to me seriously and felt so disappointed in the action and I vowed to always mind my business only.

Why is it so hard to deal with disappointment?

One of the reasons why I think it's hard to deal with disappointment is because disappointment happens when you least expect it. No one plans to be disappointed.

Another reason why disappointment maybe hard to deal with is because it causes you pain you feel in your emotions . Pain sometimes are very hard to heal especially the one felt in the heart or emotions.

Disappointment are hard to deal with because it is not something physical even though what caused it was physical.

What can we do to make disappointments less painful?

Even though disappointment are bound to happen. It is important to also know what to do to make the experience less painful.

In my opinion some of the things to do to make disappointment less painful is to settle it in the mind that for every thing I want to do may or maybe not work.

We should not always put all our hopes on people or on a thing. Having an open mind towards things. When all trust is put on a thing or person and you eventually gets disappointed, it's always so painful.

Disappointment can be less painful when we accept our situation and decide to work on it again.

Stop thinking on what inspired the disappointment. Dwelling in a pain makes it more painful.

Considering what caused the initial disappointment before and try to make adjustment can also help in the process.
