About disappointment and what to do with it.

Imagine that you failed. It rankle not a fact that we failed but feeling that settles in the chest and echoes those thoughts: this should not happen, why this happened to me, why this time I was unlucky? Such a feeling and thoughts depressing us for a while, only later everything erases and we finally feel eased.  Whether it is unfortunate basketball match, canceled a job interview, small auto accident in the city or any other calamity. All this accumulates in our experience until finally one day bursts. How to start a dialogue with yourself that to find consolation here and now?

It is very important to recognize the fact of failure. The worst thing you can give to yourself, it’s to feed your mind with a lie. Everyone wants to look strong, but also we all have some weaknesses and no one is protected from failing. When a failure’s fact is already recognized, you can think about other things – the causes, consequences, alternatives, lessons learned. It helps to grow and to become you stronger.

Ask yourself what actually happened? How much of this is actually bad for you? Then ask yourself what this failure teaches you? To be stronger? Reduce the expectations? With a calm heart forgive yourself if something was not according to your will. Finally stop blaming yourself and go on a fun weekend trip or do what you have planned a long time ago.

If you failed somewhere, think about where else can you direct your accumulated and unrealized energy. When we fail to make a change or new ideas, our stored energy will not go anywhere. We have to be able to grab this energy and direct it to other important areas. After all, a failure in one area does not mean the failure of the other.

And finally – even in case of failure, does this failure was worth my effort? Do I grudge of wasted effort? If I can find evidence that any failure was meaningful, the bitterness of failure will not be so great. After all, you tried something new, it was your new experience. And whatever it is – that’s your experience. And it teaches you something.

    • I needed this post today as I have been going through a string of what seems to be failures in my life. I do know that when I am not in this situation ever again, I will know what to do better next time. Thank you for this.
