You know when you look forward to something for a long time and then it doesn't turn out quite like you hoped that it would?
Yah. That's really rough stuff.
It hurts the worst when its something that you've been looking forward to for a long time.
Yes, disappointments can be really hard to deal with. But the most important part of handling those let downs is your response to them. You can give up and assume that life isn't worth it.... Or you can pick yourself up, brush off the dust of depression and face the next victory with your head held high.
You can't face another tough challenge with the baggage of your last, most recent loss. You can't hang your head and let yourself get beat, but you can pick up your shattered dreams and make a statement about your determination to do better next time.
"One's best success comes after one's greatest disappointments." - Henry Ward Beecher
Make today count! It's always worth it in the end to give everything you have!
Always,
