Transform disappointment

Life will sometimes disappoint you. Embrace the disappointment, and transform it into inspiration.

When you feel disappointment, it means you know things could have been, and can be, better. Take hold of that vision, and work on bringing it fully to life.

Disappointment enables you to experience firsthand what you don’t want. Use that experience to develop new clarity about what you do want.

No disappointment ever has to be permanent. Take what is positive, informative, and motivating in each disappointment, and leave the rest behind.

Look for opportunities to channel disappointment into positive action. Though you can’t do anything about what has already happened, you can choose what you do with it.

Feel the disappointment, then gather all the energy in that feeling and put it to good use. You’ll soon leave the disappointment far behind as you move forward to do great things.

— Ralph Marston
