Thank you for helping me to overcome my disappointments faster by moving actions required for a breakthrough to a conscious level. I have always done what you stated, but on a subconscious level which takes more time and is more painful. I like it!

I also read many other famous people were faced with the same hardships who overcame the negative and profoundly made millions or rearched higher grounds of employment. There is a definite problem with people getting along with each other in our country which has borders with color,religions,educations,judicual systems, medical systems,spouse/s and gender.Overcoming everything is important to obtain sucess in life for everyone in our country.

This, in my view, is a matter of language, of terminology. The two, even though distinct, often go together, obviously. In my view (1) is to fall short (of expectations, intentions), (2) is to feel sorry. The normal relationship is (a.o.) TEMPORAL: disappointment first, regret following. Not the other way around. The exact nature of the distinction and the relationship between (1) and (2) I see as a subject for semantics. NOT very interesting. What IS interesting and very practical is how to DEAL with disappointments. In my (long) experience it is very fruitfull to experience them as (free!) lessons and challenges (to study what, exactly, went wrong), without regret, without surprise that (some)one has fallen short. THAT I consider the adult way. The way I read it, your text is about the difference between (1) disappointment and (2) regret. This, in my view, is a matter of language, of terminology.

They say it is what we do with them that matters most! A recent business disappointment that might be helpful to everyone is that one of our ask campaigns was to go out to a 500,000 person list and we only got about 2,000 people to register. This was an outside list that graciously offered to send out an announcement regarding the teleseminar but the guest speaker (who isn't a marketer) wrote the email and pointed the registration to the wrong website! While this was disappointing to lose the potential to acquire atleast 15-20k names, the lesson learned was that the marketing emails are very important and shouldn't be left to marketing 'dummies'. We still have a chance to continue the relationship with the owner of the 500,000 person list and in the following months, I have made it my personal responsibility to get the marketing email right for maximum response! My point is that I allowed the guest speaker who had the relationship with the list owner to write the email. We now have an understanding of who creates the marketing and who handles the content for the telseminar :) Anything IS Possible, Jan Disappointments…we all have ‘em. They say it is what we do with them that matters most!

Failure is the tuition you pay for success. Failing is not celebrated near enough. But which one of us has succeeded right off the bat at anything they first tried! I watched a most delightful movie Slumdog Millionaire...there is no such thing as failure. I love what Jefferey Combs says failure is nothing but a series of compounding experiences. Whether for good or for bad the choice is entirely up to you. Disappointment is the Lords divine school! If you don't want to learn better leave! Indeed! Failure is the tuition you pay for success.

My "I can, but..." voice is pretty strong and gets in the way and slows progress!! 'Sloppy Success' is a concept I am learning. Freida Hi Alex:
