Disappointments

In life there will be disappointments; sometimes within your control, but most times you won’t have control. How you navigate these disappointments determine your fate. If you crash out with every disappointment then life will be challenging, but if you take disappointments in stride you will flourish.

It’s important that you give yourself grace when disappointments happen, especially if you tried your hardest and put your best foot forward. For instance, say you have been sober for 45 days and on day 46 there is a death that causes you to relapse and have that drink you have been trying to avoid for weeks. It’s ok to kick yourself, but it’s equally important to forgive yourself.

There will always be disappointments, but will you let disappointments define who you are or will you have the victory and overcome them?
