12 Quotes About Being Disappointed

If you’ve ever been let down by someone you care about or worse, by yourself, you know it’s tough to get over it.

I remember one such day when I said to myself:

Right, the moment you come out of the shower, that’s it. Let it go. You don’t go back and torture yourself ever again.

I pushed myself to get out of the foul mood, to get past disappointment and self-blame.

So I took a shower.

I knew things couldn’t be undone.

So what’s the point of festering a plethora of emotions that drag me down?

If you’re going through some major disappointment, I hope you take comfort knowing that you’re not alone.

Read through these quotes, come up with one practical action plan (in my case, taking a shower) and command yourself to get over it as soon as your action is complete.

It can be that simple if you let it be.

I’ve tried it.

It worked. So will it for you.
