‘Disappointment’ |
“As soon as they happen, learn from them and wipe them away. Do not dwell. If a moving vehicle has no windshield wiper and it rains, the driver will crash. And that is what will happen to you if you dwell on rejection and disappointment. Rejection is good. Disappointment is not bad. Failure is an asset. But these are only true if you learn from them. The reason why you think these states are bad is because of your perception. Musicians, for example, release their best works after a heartbreak or traumatic experience. Mark Zuckerberg invented Facebook as a reaction to getting dumped by his heartthrob. Brian Acton and Jan Koum came up with WhatsApp after their frustration at not getting a job with Facebook. God allowed that heartbreak in your life so you can snap out of your complacency and into your creativity. Setbacks give you the firepower to do your life’s best work.”
