Disappointment is part of the human experience. It is not pleasurable--no one enjoys disappointment.   It always brings up the question: Why? It is the 'why,' asked not in victimhood, but in desire to learn and grow that holds the gift in disappointment.   In your disappointment, withdrawal momentarily from your buziness to re-evaluate, re-assess. and re-group. Then charge forth with new insight, wisdom and a grateful heart for the gift in your disappointment: growth and expansion. These lie in every disappointment, if you allow it.  Allowance is key!~Denna J. Shelton
