I learned to deal with disappointment a long time ago. It is said that with age comes wisdom. That's how it worked for me.

I've learned to understand that my life is finite and can end at any time.
I've learned to know what I want.
I've learned to know what I don't want.
I've learned to understand that I can't always have what I want.
I've learned to realize things will not always happen on the timeline I want.
I've learned to realize that the way I treat other people will come back to me in ways that I can't always predict or control.
I've also learned I don't have to tolerate other people's bullshit.

I was blind to a lot of this at 18. Not so blind now. The disappointments help put the wins in perspective. The wins put the disappointments in perspective. I just move on to the next experience.

I think you learn particularly with the test of time , is that life is about putting yourself out there , so hence you cannot have enormous joy without the opposite , so you take this risk pretty much every time , or you simply haven't tried hard enough.

It could be any area of your life. employment , romance , sport , business , its all a risk and your can judge an individual by their reaction , and how they cope with disappointment , plus sometimes good things take multiple tries , so I deal with it by approaching the want from a different angle.

try harder. and if trying doesn't help, then we're in the territory of hope, wishes, religion and fairy tales. best not waste your life with those things, they never come true.

You come up with another plan. You accept and acknowledge why you didn't get it and then you come up with another plan. Everything's patienceEverything, just because you didn't get it today. Doesn't mean you can't get it tomorrow. How bad you want it? How hard you willing to work to get

Make peace with it and move on, even though it might take time and adjustment.

Do something relaxing, gradually start picking apart what went wrong. What was and wasn't in my control? What was and wasn't my fault? Then move onto something else.

MissSunshine2 · Answer

Mope about or plan a way to come at what I want from a different angle, so that I get what I want, just a bit later than I'd hoped for.
