How does one go through life disappointments when you feel you are let down?

Know your value.
Preserve your value.
Only extend your value to those who value you.

Valueing your selfworth is key to being a focus person to achieve whatever you want.

Why do we face disappointments?

Because we are let down. Sometimes by ourselves but mostly by others around us.

Our loved ones. Colleagues at work. People we care.

They let us down because they don’t value us. They take us for granted.

It happens to anyone who has ever lived.

Once you are on a downward spiral, it’s difficult to get out.

Most of the time the spiral is unavoidable.

You’ll keep trying to protect whatever harmony you value but the only constant outcome is to be taken for granted even more.

You get even more crushed, hence the spiral.

The difference between those who become better (because they learn from the spiral) or those who are ruined at the end of the spiral - is the ability to yank yourself out of it.

You have a better chance to yank yourself if you value yourself.

That you are worth more than the people who take you for granted. That it is a privilege to have you in their lives.

Then you’ll see that you can get by without them.

To do this, you need to stay positive.

Focus on those who value you.
Focus your energy on making it better for them.

That takes away the negative energy of the people who take you for granted.

At some point, you can focus on the future, not the past.

On possibilities with those who value you, not wasted efforts on those who take you for granted.

Eventually not only you stop your spiral, you can move on.

When you are going down on a spiral, look in a mirror and remind yourself your selfworth.

That you are not a person who can be kicked around.

It works every time with me.

Good luck!
