Face it, there will always be disappointments but that doesn’t mean you will be helped by wallowing in self-pity.

Believe this, many times in our lives God is at work even though we can’t see His footsteps.  You know that old cliché about when one door closes another door opens.  We’ve all had it happen.

           A case in point:  Once, a little boy was leading his sister up a mountain path he had found.  All she could do was constantly complain, “Why this isn’t a path at all.  It’s all rocky and bumpy.”

“Sure,” he answered, “but the bumps are what you climb on.”

          Some people use the bumps in life to climb on and from their suffering they grow stronger while others just trip over their problems and from their suffering come out weaker.

If you are by nature a rather pessimistic person, realize that even you can learn from pain and mistakes.  Others do, so can you. 

We’re not all born lucky, or with an optimistic personality, or blessed with success the first time we try something.  So be willing to work with extra effort to get what you want rather than being discouraged and giving up. 

And if for some reason you don’t get your wants, you will have the satisfaction of having given it your all.
