Disappointment Defense

Meditating on how quickly disappointment can turn into despair this dayclean.  I think it can be especially true when hopes are dependent on the actions of other people. We are so prone to letting each other down.

But I’m learning to defend against temporary disappointment morphing into longer-term despair. There’s a saying ‘disappointment is a divine appointment”; it tells me that when faced with disappointment I need to examine what I expected, and whether or not it is truly in line with the divine plan for my life. That moment of pause is enough to refocus and remind me of the bigger brighter picture. It’s giving Brother Anthony Hamilton in the best way: after life’s disappointments, I know I’ll be Fine Again.
