Disappointment Turned Appointment

Hello ReadCash Family, how are you doing? Hope all is going well as it should? If so thanks be to God (lol who used this last line when writing letters?😂) Back then in primary school, if you do not add that line and you're writing a letter, you'd get a zero. Good old days!😂

Disappointment hurts a lot especially when we are having high expectations or relying so much on that outcome. It is the second thing people try so hard to avoid but will still surface itself. When we get disappointed,it feels like the earth has turned it's back away from us. The energy to continue drains out and we begin to feel like we're not good enough; like we're a failure and many other negative emotion rolls in.

It is actually normal to feel pained when you go through a major disappointment. The determinant factor that points out if this is good or not is what the pain leads to. If your pain leads to depression then it is definitely a bad one but if the pain brings out your adrenaline and drives you to try again or do something different then it's the good pain. In one of my previous articles, I talked about how there's beauty in pain and how it can drive and launch us to attain a new level of success.

A practical example: if you keep a bowl of fried rice with assorted meats and you tell two peoplen; one with a full and the other with a hungry stomach that whoever get to the meal first has it. Who do you think will win? Logically, the one with the hungry stomach having pains from worms in his stomach will strive so hard like his life depends on it because it actually does will win over the ones whose stomach is full as this one will be it restrained in his efforts as he got a full stomach already and there's nothing to lose so he thought. But what if there's a golden necklace worth a lot of money close to the bowl of rice? The hungry one will take it all!

That's the same way the journey to success works. The reluctant one never gets it

Do you know some hungry persons will still not win? As they'll give an excuse that they've got no strength?

Disappointment is a two sides coin. There are many people in which disappointment has turned them into miserable beings while for others, it made room for bigger appointments. One of those persons is a well known Veteran Nigerian Actress called Patience Ozokwo popularly known as MamaG.

This woman is a Nollywood sensation. So filled with talents and wherever you see her you just know that movie is surely going to be interesting. She takes both the Villan and the .. role perfectly that you'd wonder if that's how her personality is. She's one of a kind.

Before attaining all of the fame, she was a radio broadcaster. She was working there when her husband passed on living her and their children. She automatically became the bread winner of the house and had to manage the little stipend she receives to cater for her family. Two months down the line, after her husband has been buried, she got to the office and met a sack letter on her desk. I imagined she cried her eyes out just as any person who just lost a job at the time he or she needs it the most will do. She didn't allow that way her down completely; she tried to get another job, dropped her CV at many places but couldn't get a job and her children drove out school because of her inability to pay the fees. A normal person would start thinking and they have high BP (another problem) but she kept trying.

As God would have it,she saw a poster for a movie role and decided to give it a shot as she was desperate and needed money. She went there and did the role well and was selected to be a part of the movie cast. This was the beginning of her journey as an actress and now she is international star and a great grand ma looking fresh and strong, money doing its job😊

She also Sings. One of her songs reminds me so much of my childhood moments and I laugh so much when I watch it 😊

Imagine if she wasn't sacked? She would've been retired without all of the good things she enjoys now. There are disappointment that happens to bless us but we also have to give consent to this blessing through our choices.
