After some silence out here for the bliss of life, learning and business I am here again with something from what I've learnt.
Enjoy the day's blog:
No matter how hard we try and how positive we try to remain about situations, we all end up having to deal with disappointments sometime during our life. We plan, we set goals in order to succeed in life but invariably, even though we give it our best shot, things don’t turn out as expected and disappointment sets in. Disappointment in itself is not particularly a bad thing; its how we choose to deal with it that can make a difference. If we simply choose to accept the failure and allow the disappointment to wash over us and quickly go away we don’t suffer adverse consequences, it is only when we allow the disappointment to linger and we dote on it that negativity and bad feelings can stay with us.
Some disappointment in life can be good for us because it allows us to grow and develop and practice thinking positively, going through disappointment and coming out the other side still wearing a smile makes us realize that no matter what life throws at us we can overcome it. Here are some tips to help you deal with and overcome disappointment when it rears its head.
1. Realize that grief, stress, anxiety, fear, pain and suffering are just a natural part of life that we have to go through, it’s how we deal with it and come out the other side that matters.
2. If family members or loved ones are causing you disappointments remember that no one is invulnerable, you cannot always live up to your expectations or yourself so how can you expect others to be perfect.
3. When faced with disappointment instead of looking at it as though it is a bad thing, welcome it and think of it as a test or challenge.
4. When things go wrong analyze the situation, see what you can learn from it and then let it go.
5. If you are constantly running into a brick wall when trying to reach long term goals, remember there cannot be failure unless you give up, so keep trying until you get there.
6. If you run into a dead end turn around and go another way, by staying flexible you are able to obtain your goal any way you can.
7. Don’t except anything more from life than what you are willing to put in, if you don’t expect anything more, you won’t be disappointed.
8. If you are having a particularly bad time overcoming disappointment it can help to talk about it, by talking about it and letting it out you realize that you are not alone when it comes to suffering disappointment.
9. Patience can really be a blessing when it comes to dealing with disappointment, just simply let the feelings pass over you and disappear and get back on the right track.
10. Don’t be conned by foolish and unreasonable expectations about life, if you are constantly looking for perfection then you will be disappointed for sure.
BREAKING THE HEART
You have been true before now
As men part their promises goodbye
Love came and slaps you somehow
You put all in the closet now
As days rolls by ends cry you
Like the mad man roam the street
Nothing breeds good thoughts due
Oppositions understands not your fret
Will love ever come back home?
Will acceptance ever be welcome?
The heart is on a voyage alone
Who can tell it back to tray?
Breaking the heart is a seed
It grows to dabble other things
But for time it breeds and bleed
Mending wall is focus and forgiveness

TAKING IT ALL BACK
Sometimes in selfishness we all go
Going the way of men's words
We kill the love, break the flow
For action speaks louder than hearts
The gifts of love stand to heal
But two opposing forces derail foundation
Men and ego nothing makes feel
For fear of time all things collide
It was professed for a future coming
The heart sails on the voyage alive
But soon the outer voice kills reigning
For two masters breaks the ship
The world will moot no matter what
But only two hearts lays their plan
Taking back all gifts is wrong advice
But love breaks the aftermath alive

SAYING GOODBYE
You’re making me say goodbye
No matter how hard I try
I searched my heart for your hurts
But nothing I could find to but
You should have told me the truth
We had no plan of getting loot
I truly love you till the end
But you had other planned friends
I am saying what was not intended
The journey was truly fine and bonded
I’m gonna miss you but a while
Please understand I call on another style
You’re making me say goodbye
This is not another one cry
I will always remember the days
You were in the beginning, my say

KEEP THINKING
Deeper than life stronger than death
Strange is the heart that can read
Harmonies of life oneness of birth
The mind is an ocean of thought
Concentrating the heart waiting for time
Building the life creating the future
Thoughts make that to be primed
The mind is an ocean of thought
Becoming great releasing the actuality
All that will be thought will be
Making the man making the faculty
A vision through thought must be
Keep thinking the straight course
Hiding the mind forwarding the vision
Hearing the guilt’s breaking the curse
A mission thought must be

To your success,
