DISAPPOINTMENT.......

Disappointment can have a sort of choking effect literally stopping you cold in your tracks. Depending on the intensity of the disappointing event you may even find yourself staggering around, somehow trying to reconcile the actual event results with the fantasy outcome you had planned. Only to ultimately discover that the reality is in no means even close to the fantasy envisioned. When you step back its like you are watching a tragic comedy unfolding. Ironically enough sometimes disappointment is so tragic that you have to laugh to keep from crying so that you can move forward. Most of the time I either try to face the resulting disappointment head on or I find myself figuratively a hole to climb into until I am ready to cope again. However depending on the disappointment and whether a response is time dependent, my actual time with my head in the sand maybe extremely limited. What I have learned along life's rocky highway is that disappointment can also have a polarizing effect in a positive way, moving me to take action. In this way disappointment is incredibly powerful compelling me to evoke changes. As I have gotten older I clearly have developed the coping skill for handling disappointment and find myself choking less. However, by no means am I implying that handling disappointment gets easier, but you certainly become better at navigating its pitfalls, because each passing life experiences (disappointments included) help guide and shape you along the way………………………………………………..Fujicat :)
