Disappointed?

Well get used to it!
I actually had someone tell me that one time. How encouraging!!
But it is also true. We WILL be disappointed at one time or another in this life. It is part of the living process. But it is how we deal with disappointment that determines wether disappointment will cause a multi car pile up or be a momentary speed bump on our journey of life.
The greatest people in history dealt with disappointment.
Abraham Lincoln ran for a government office and lost before he won the presidency of the United States.
George Washington, who won many a military victory as a commander, was constantly facing disappointments over loss military battles in his life.
Jesus himself, was disappointed over the lack of faith he found in his own followers.
We are constantly disappointed in this life, but we can find consolation in others who also suffered disappointments but did not allow their disappointments to keep them from achieiving great things in thier lives.
So get disappointed today, get over it and get on with it!
