Disappointments

Disappointments are the best and the worst gifts of life. They are manifestations of life’s grace in its fullest potential. I may not want to feel disappointments, but who am I to decide what path life has in store for me?

Disappointments show with clarity what path not to take. If my way of life is filled with disappointments, then why would I want to pursue it? Even if all the people in the world find happiness in a particular way but I don’t, why would I try to fit in?

"It is better to lose the whole world than to lose my soul." This may sound strange, but happiness can be found by observing where my disappointments arise from and taking the lessons of disappointments very seriously.
