Maybe what you got was better

We tend to get so attached to what we think will make us happy that any other outcome can feel like a disappointment or failure. What if the thing you thought you wanted wouldn’t have made the difference you hoped it would? What if what you ended up with actually was better for you?

Our disappointment can make life feel disappointing even when beauty surrounds us. Disappointment over missed expectations is natural and healthy, yet if we dwell on it too long, we become unavailable to receive the gifts we are being given.

Maybe you have had just the right experiences to have the exact wisdom you need to set you up for what you’re going.
