We feel this way when things do not happen the way we expected, or more often, when others are not who we expected them to be. We develop expectations, and then feel cheated when we they are not fulfilled. Also, when we do not achieve the results we desire, we feel disappointed and disillusioned in ourselves, others or God.
When we succumb to such feelings, we often give up making any further effort, which in turn obstructs our growth.
Positive alternatives to disappointment and disillusionment could be:
1. Understand that we are all in a process of evolution and that no one is perfect. It is unreasonable to expect of demand perfection from ourselves or others. We would not be here in this evolutionary process if we did not have much to improve.
2. Faith in the flow of life. There is a wisdom greater than ours. We usually want to get our desired results immediately if not "yesterday". We need to learn that change, manifestation and creation are usually slow organic processes like a plant growing. There are, however, moments of quantum leaps.
3. Confidence that with patience, practice and perseverance, we can manifest the changes we seek. We can develop greater trust in our ability to manifest our goals and life purpose with or without the help of specific person.
4. Greater self-sufficiency will allow us to need less from the other and thus not be so dependent on them, expecting so much from them. When we feel secure, worthy and fulfilled within our selves we need much less from others and experience disappointment less frequently.
5. A larger sense of time, in which we realize that, any efforts made for less than fifty years, are actually small in relationship to the immensity of our being. continue article... HA108 (Dealing with) Disappointment - Disillusionment - Discouragement by RE Najemy

HA207 Secrets of Success; How to Be a Perfect Failure, self help article by Bill Harris
Humans were meant to be creative creatures and evolution has rewarded creativity and achievement with wonderful and pleasurable bursts of neurochemicals our brains create whenever we do something creative -- not to mention possible financial rewards and the satisfaction and increased confidence that comes of having done something well.
But many people never (or rarely) experience this high. Why is this? Why do people not use this creative equipment they were born with and make their life an orgy of fun and creating?

HA74 Change Begins with Choice by Jim Rohn
Any day we wish; we can start the process of life change. We can do it immediately, or next week, or next month, or next year.
We can also do nothing. We can pretend rather than perform. And if the idea of having to change ourselves makes us uncomfortable, we can remain as we are.
We can choose rest over labor, entertainment over education, delusion over truth, and doubt over confidence.

When I first heard the stories, I enjoyed them at face value and, like all children, did not possess the 'power' to understand the depth of meaning behind them. Then I grew up and, after much folly and suffering, began my search 'in the wilderness' for the meaning of life. One day the connection between the two apparently unconnected stories just came to me from out of the blue. Bear with me as I recount the tales.
