Who wouldn't feel disappointed?

                          
How good are you at handling disappointment?

No one enjoys it...that's for sure.

But if you plan on being successful in life...

you need to improve on your ability to handle it.



"Just like the clouds, my eyes will do the same, if you walk away, everyday it will rain,
bruno mars 
                                                           
Truth is...the road from where you are RIGHT NOW...


to the LIFE of your DREAMS is under construction.

That road has lots of twists, lots of turns & lots of dead ends.

HOW WILL YOU HANDLE THE DETOURS?

Will you decide to turn around & quit?

Or will you instead choose to keep pushing & become a winner?

Winners like Peter Gene Hernandez aka Bruno Mars experience lots of disappointment on their personal journey to the top...


Tear drops can result...
no problem with that...crying is healthy.

A lot healthier choice than reaching for a cigarette, a gun, alcohol or some other drug. 

                                                    
AFTER YOUR TEARS DRY UP though...





WHAT ELSE CAN YOU DO?


High achievers begin by understanding there is a BIG, BIG difference between a temporary & permanent setback.

A temporary challenge handled the right way will remain...
temporary.
TEMPORARY DISAPPOINTMENT IS LIKE RAIN...
A NORMAL PART OF LIFE.
Here are today's winning strategies:
Solution#1
Understand the difference between temporary disappointment
and permanent failure.  

Temporary disappointment is normal & cannot always be avoided

Here's solution #2:
Adjust your expectations.

"If I was in their shoes I'd be doing the same thing...
                       lyrics from It Will Rain 

Wouldn't it be great if we could go our entire lives without ever feeling  disappointment or rejection?
YEP!   IS THAT REALISTIC?   NOPE!

We must remain flexible on our personal journey  thru life.
Sometimes in Life it's going to rain on our parade.

A palm tree survives a hurricane by being flexible.

WE MUST DO THE SAME DURING THE STORMY PERIODS
 OF OUR LIVES.

Where did that mess come from anyway?

Do you remember the time when you used to believe in things like Santa Claus, the tooth fairy, the Wizard of Oz and
                                                                        
some of the other stuff that you hopefully no longer believe in?

Can you even remember where many of those beliefs came from?

Most likely from other people.

In fact, take a closer look at many of the things you believe today ...

how many did you decide on for your SELF?

Hand me down clothes from friends or family aren't all bad...
but some hand me down beliefs can stunt personal growth.    

Perhaps you were blessed.
Did you inherit mostly positive beliefs? 
If not, perhaps you'd better start deciding what to believe AND what not to believe in for your SELF.
What you decide to believe... 
What you decide NOT  to believe is a choice that you better learn how to exercise.

Do you believe in politicians who believe they have all the answers?
Good luck with that one!

Do you believe that your school, your family or your friends are more responsible for you having the life of your DREAMS than you are?        
Good luck with that one too!


The next time you check out that guy or girl in the mirror...
                                       

you are looking at the person most responsible for you having the life you choose.          
They call it SELF HELP for a reason.
