Motivational Monday! Dealing with Disappointment!!!

Motivational Monday!

Dealing with Disappointment!!!

Disappointment - sadness or displeasure caused by nonfulfillment of one's hope or expectations. 

When you have expectations, you are setting yourself up for disappointment. ~Ryan Reynolds

So, is Ryan saying that we should live with no expectations? Is he saying that we should not have any expectations for our future or our lives? I have no idea what Ryan meant when he was quoted saying the above words. What I do know, is that we should all plan for our future. We should all plan for our life. What I would like to think is that Ryan meant that when we plan our lives that we should also plan to be disappointed at some point. Things flowing smoothly, seemlessly and without need for a revision of the original plan isn't likely. So, plan to be disappointed at some point. 

Find a good teacher that will help keep the game fun. Work hard and don't be afraid of success or disappointment. ~ Paula Creamer

Yes! Don't be afraid to be disappointed! Don't let fear keep you from pursuing your dreams for your life. Disappointment is part of living! Disappointment is part of learning.

Try, Fail, Adjust! Try, Fail Adjust! ~Steve Morris

Every time you try you are learning. Every time you try, you are learning what is working and what isn't working! When you fail, adjust your efforts until it works and then keep moving forward!

The principles of living greatly include the capacity to face troubles with courage, disappointment with cheerfulness and trial with humility.    ~Thomas S. Monson

Get excited that you failed, not disappointed! You just learned what not to do next time! Be happy that you now know one (or ten) things that don't work to get you to where you want to go! Choose your emotion when you fail! (Please don't choose disappointment...)

The size of your success is measured by the strength of your desire; the size of your dream; and how you handle disappointment along the way.                 ~Robert Kiyosaki

How successful will you be? Build the life that you want in your mind! Once you have a clear picture of that life, take the steps every day to build the reality that you want. Your reality starts with you! You have the power!

Annnnd yeeeeees, I've been asked... "you're a Realtor, why are you writing a blog titled 'Motivational Monday'?" To answer the question... Over the years, I've run into many different people, all with very different personalities. I've found that people that have an optimistic and positive outlook on life are happier people. I want to do my part to empower others to be positive. I  want to do my part to empower others to believe in the power of affirmations. I want to do my part to help people believe in themselves again. I want to do my part to make the world a happier place... even if it's just for one person, I will have made a difference.  

Have a Blessed Week! Remember, Success is yours if you are willing to work for it!!!
