thunderstorm to the heart...

Disappointment is the feeling of dissatisfaction that follows the failure of expectations to manifest. The best way to deal with it is by accepting it. We must accept disappointment as inevitable but never lose hope.

No matter how careful or positive we are, we are bound to experience grief, suffering, pain, fear, and anxiety. It’s part of life. Sort of like the price we pay for happiness. I always say: the space between the tears we cry is the laughter that keeps us alive.

Also, don't look inward when you should be looking outward, and don't look outward when you should be looking inward.
Meaning, don’t blame yourself for things that are out of your control. No matter how bad your situation is, just because you feel like you’ve been through the worst of everything, doesn’t necessarily make it true. You don’t know what the next person is going through. Some things are out of our hands. Appreciate your blessings.
And the reverse also applies. Don’t blame others for something you should be taking responsibility for. When you see your own weaknesses, you'll be able to accept the weaknesses of others. Communicate. Forgive. Forget.

Relish in your battles. Whether you win or lose. If you lose, learn from your errors. Life is a maze, but it’s also amazing. You will not enjoy or win at cards if all you do is complain about the hand you're dealt.

Abandon the search for “perfect”. Don’t be foolish. Only God is perfect. If this is what you are waiting for, you’ll never be satisfied.

Keep your expectations real people. And stay optimistic.

Keep reading.
