Disappointments will always come your way. Choose to be happy, says Joe Rossini

It would be a rare day in our lives if we could live 24 hours without having to deal with some type of disappointment.The chances that our expectations will not be met each day by individuals, governments, businesses, clients, vendors, organisations, family members and the like are very likely.

In fact, as you mature through the life cycle, it seems you are likely to be let down in some way by at least a simple majority of the people you come in contact with.

Did you ever stop to think why you are disappointed so often? Is it just happening to you or everyone around you? Are you wondering if your expectations are too high? Are you doing something wrong? Maybe! Have you taken the time to understand that you will be disappointed often and that you must be prepared to deal with disappointment?

Because we are given the natural ability to freely choose our actions, it means that we are also free to make mistakes and learn from them. So disappointments and mistakes will forever be a part of the human experience. To wish that others should be perfect when dealing with us is a wish that cannot come true. For even you have made mistakes and will continue to make more in the future.

However, being prepared for disappointments and being persistent in overcoming the obstacles they present will make you a stronger and more determined individual. You need a strong character to make it in the fast paced world that we live in. You have to know what you want from life and plan carefully to acquire it. You cannot let others not meeting up to their responsibilities stop you from meeting yours.

It took me a long time to realise that you cannot change the people around you if they don’t want to change. You cannot change the clerk in the store who is doing a lousy job. You cannot change the contractor who always breaks his promises to perform. You cannot change your boss who is always losing his temper. You cannot change a family member to do things the way you think is right.

But the one person who you can change is yourself ! But we often want to die changing others first & it will only lead to arguements criticism friction, whether it be husband, children or parents.When you start changing yourself first & then the world will change. You can change how you react to disappointment. It is within your power to laugh at the chain of events that occur during a day rather than be angry and disgusted. It is within your power to have the determination of an ant, who finds a way to accomplish its mission, regardless of the obstacles it faces. Your reaction to disappointment is where your power lies.

And whether you want to admit to it or not, it is you who chooses how you are going to react. No one can make you react a certain way. Everything depends on what you want. Many times reactions are learned. If your father slammed the phone down when he was angry, you may have learned to do the same thing.

The peaceful alternative always exists; it just has to be consciously chosen. But why choose to react peacefully? What are the benefits? Well, to begin with, if you want to live a happier life, it is best to choose a peaceful reac tion to life’s disappointments.

If you are constantly yelling and upset about how someone else messed up, then your proclamations of wanting to be a happy person are just hot air. If you want to be happy — prove it!

When you choose peaceful reactions, not only will you have a happy mental life, but you will also have a healthier physical life.

Our bodies are like chemical factories that are more powerful than any pharmacy on earth. Every emotion is translated by the body into chemicals that have measurable, observable effects. Joy, love, and contentment bolster your physical being, while negative emotions like anger and stress cause all types of harm and imbalance in our bodies.

So imagine this: You live in a world where mistakes are made and will always be made. Would it be logical if every time someone makes a mistake, or causes some disappointment, for you to choose (through your emotions) to mentally and physically harm yourself ? What will you achieve by that? You should not harm anyone, let alone yourself.

Living happily does not mean that everything around you must be perfect. It means choosing to be happy in spite of the fact that it will never be perfect.

Try to be more prepared for the disappointments. Disappointments will always come your way. Choose to be happy! Have the mindset to laugh it off and persist to overcome any disappointment. More on........... http://kaalchakra0.tripod.com
