Living with Disappointment

In the current issue of Exchange (March/April 2005), M. Parker Anderson gives some practical advice on how to deal with unmet expectations. Here is an excerpt from her Beginnings Workshop article, "Living with Disappointment: How to Choose Powerful Outcomes in the Face of Unmet Expectations:"

"Create a new culture - Disappointments will come and disappointments will go, and more than likely they will come back again. The question is not so much what to do when we are living with disappointments, but more how do we choose to live otherwise. We can break the cycle of living inside of a culture of disappointment. It becomes up to us to create a new culture. We can create a culture of joy and harmony for our lives and the lives of others as we move toward choosing powerful outcomes when our expectations are not met."
