Would you still keep your hope up after disappointments?

For me, it depends on the case. In the case of falling in love, once I am disappointed, I will not try again.For others, disappointment never stops me from making another try.

We are always going to have disappointments in life but that does not mean that we have to lose hope too. I have to believe in hope no matter what. Haing that hope to cling to helps us to get through those disappointments and makes it posible to move on.

I have been through many failures and disappointments. When things didn't turn out the way that I hoped or expected, I get sad and disappointed at first, but after some time I am usually able to turn my thoughts around and look at things that happened from a more positive point of view. I think about the things that went wrong and I try to find out why it happened. Was I too ambitious and do I have to adjust my goals? Did I do things the wrong way and what can I change next time? I basically try to learn something from the failure. The people who don't expect much are less likely to get disappointed and it is easier for them to protect themselves against painful failures and disappointments, but personally I prefer to try and fail. It is painful, but at least I know that I have done what I could.

I think we all have dealt with disappointment but in different ways. I am the same was you sometimes, I just forget about it, or don't bother with it knowing if I don't try I wont get the failure and disappointment with it.

i just sit and cry and pray, as i have nobody with me, except God so i just share with him and pray and try to make myself strong with faith..

Less care, less disappointments. That's the point. But one thing for sure, you really care and you can't deny that to yourself. In that case, tears and drama aren't useful anymore especially when you don't have time. If that would happen to me, the first thing I'm going to do is to keep calm and open my mind. Know the problem and find the solution. You will not do anything with your drama or what so ever. The important is, you stand up again and be stronger. Take those mistakes and failures as a lesson and never lead yourself to depression.

I have been disappointed many times, and i have failed far too many times either and all i can say is that i have never really given up on life yet. People have disappointed me, families have done something to hurt me, friends have left me, and loved one has also disappointed and hurt me too but so long as there is hope i know everything will be okay. I cannot let disappointments and other people win and i won't let go until i get to win whatever battler i have started on my life - i will travel my path and finish and be where i want to be as long as i am alive, as love as there is hope... there is still a chance.

Many friends that I knew called me smiling angel. The reason is I always smile , very high spirit and bring cheers all around. I will encourage people to look forward with positive thoughts. I do join certain contest for example to win a ticket for two to Universal Studio Singapore, the result came out and I did not win. It is okay because I always knew that when God want to bless us, He will bless us with the best. Weeks later I won a VIP trip to Universal Singapore for 2 with 5 star hotel suites. shows, flights, limousine transfer and F&B vouchers. Instead of winning RM1,000, the won I won is worth RM10,000. My boss also tell me, at times we did not get what we want, in actual fact it could be 'blessings in disguise'... that is what his experience was. So, be cheerful, pray to God and you will be blessed abundantly.

Well, you find me in a circumstance a little particular. Let's say that at the moment, I do not going through the best! This is given by many factors. You must first take into account the fact that I am a person psychologically sick and invalid to 75%. That makes me carry it behind various issues. However, with regard to disappointments in love, I have not ever had, also because I've never been involved in a romantic relationship (and, by the way, I do not care at all!). Labor problem: I'm 38 years old and I still unemployed Personal problems: I live in a family where unfortunately at the moment we are not united. My brother in particular gives me problems and I am not able to force myself on him. There is more ... but for now, I will stop here!

I understand what you mean. It can be hard to keep our hopes up when we do try our best and so many things continue to fail. I think when things like this happen we may need to reevaluate our situation and see where we can make adjustments. Sometimes we may need to work harder in a certain situation or perhaps change our goal to something else. Keep having that positive attitude and working towards what you would like to accomplish in your life.

I have a lot of disappointment also in my life, I can handle it easily with the help of my prayers and family, they are the only and effective way to overcome failure and disappointment. With their love and support I was able to continue my life and fixed my problems.

Im always hopefull things will work out for me. in all I do or try to do. So I always have hope.

In short, failure isn't a horrible thing,for it can 'refresh' you~I often meet challenge and sometimes have to fall.Don't give up hope.you should just stand up!

I think I am one of those few that believe in the saying; "you start failing when you stop trying". Whether we like it or not, disappointments come with blessings in disguise, each time I'm disapointed in something or someone, I only pick the lesson it teaches.

hi kingparker, your topic really caught my attention when i have seen it. honestly, i feel upset to what is happening to me right now. me and some members of the family are getting some feud. just like you i am trying to be optimistic with things but i can't say if what is happening now can still be mend. perhaps, the healing grace from God is the solution that can fix the situation. hence, i can't say that i can still handle this properly, i am pissed-off.

When expectations are not met then disappointment would surely be inevitable, but it should be short-lived in a way that you should learn to snap out of it or else it would to or tend to cause for us not to take things as they are and somehow get depressed over it which I think would be more of a risky behavior.

Hi kingparker. Well I am pretty good at handling those. Though if you look it from macroscopic point of view I have been very successful in my life so far. But if you dwell deeper you will find lots of failures inside. However, I always keep moving with the same energy and the overall output comes out to be positive or at least better than what it was before in time. So I think the secret lies in hanging on and pushing harder always .. Have a nice day !! SuperShames

whatever happen i keep walking to achieve that

I have to say I just failed my former certification exam. I am so disappointed. My husband have to quit his job this week due to company bankrupt. But I will learn to be positive. At least I know what part is my weakness in the exam, also my husband may find a better job...

Honestly, I have been some what down for a while now. I try to get to a positive point but sometimes there seems like no light at the end of the tunnel. Although, I know something that personally works for me at times is prayer. I am not trying to push anything onto anyone just saying that personally for me sometimes it helps. Although within the last month a doctor has actually prescribed me a medication for nerves but when I looked it up online it said that it was for depression. I as as the medication goes though I do not see as if it has changed anything or helped anything. I am trying to handle some person disappoints in my life and it is really hard to keep it from just letting it keep me down. I do see that I have several days that I just do not want to get out of bed still. I get told to try to think positive and that that would help. Talking to people who go through the same things also might help.
