Like a little kid playing happily with a new toy, and when he is already in the midst of enjoying it, it was suddenly snatched from him.

Yes, disappointments are part of life. It’s the hard harsh truth that reality does bite. But despite armed with this knowledge, we still feel bad. We still feel sad. We still question ourselves, “Where I went wrong?” "Have I not prayed hard enough?" " Had I not hoped for it really badly?"

How do you handle setbacks?

How do you handle disappointments?

Yes, I cry, I feel bad and heave a deep sigh and say “Life is really unfair”. But after having said that, I know that there are things that no matter how hard we try, it’s totally beyond our control. No matter how hard we pray, the answer may not be a “Yes” now, it could be a “wait a while longer” or probably “I have something better for you”.

Whatever it may be, having complete trust that God knows what is best for you….

You move on – smiling, trusting, letting go.

You soar through life fortified with the knowledge that “tough times never last, tough people do”.

How about you, how do you handle disappointments and setbacks?
