How to deal with disappointment

Disappointment,a negative emotion we all feel every now and then can be really uncomfortable and unpleasant. It is that feeling we get when our expectations don't match our reality and it often leaves us with this pain and void that needs to be filled.

We get disappointed mostly because we expected quite too much from someone and we were let down. Maybe you expected someone to support you or thought you were valued by someone and those expectations were cut short. I just want to let you know that it's okay to be disappointed but it's not to let yourself be overwhelmed with it because there's always a light at the end of the tunnel.

You can deal with disappointment by never placing high expectations on people because we are all humans and we make mistakes even if don't mean to. Yes, you may get assurances from people which might make you feel safe and when these people don't come through, you get disappointed. So, I'll advice you to make God your first and last Hope because He never fails especially when what you want is according to His Will for you. He knows the best for you because His thoughts towards you are thoughts of good and are geared towards giving you a desired end. Just ask Him with faith and you'll receive.

I'll also advice you not to place all your hopes in yourself. Some people are so self dependent that they lose sight of the reliable people around them and carry the weight of the world on them which isn't right. You should surround yourself with people that are ready and willing to help you in every step of the way and I'll advice that those people should have the same or similar goal and drive as you. No one is an island.

According to Martin Luther King,

" We must accept finite disappointment but never lose infinite hope."
