Disappointments

Disappointments, we all go through them... Some of them are harder to deal with than others.. At first we go through the wave of emotions and trying to figure out what was not learned, done wrong, or just not thought off... Once we realize that it is what it is, we just need to move on... For me after six weeks of studying and going to class and passing all the exams and finals I'm guessing wasn't enough to pass the State Exam.. Even though I know that a lot of people don't pass it on the first try, I tend to be a lot harder on myself.. Of course, I know that I can take it again and again until I pass..That's not this point.. The point is that after all that work, that State Exam is a killer!!!

We all go through disappointments, and some of us deal with them a lot better than others.. Some people that I have spoken to, tell me that sometimes the disappointments take months to get over... It's so hard to see how hard you worked towards something and then it doesn't come to fruition.. Sadness come to play and so does defeat.. At which time you need to dust yourself off and come to grips and try again.. As hard as that may seem, and you probably don't see it at that moment.. As the days go by and clarity sets in, you are able to see things objectively and take a stand to go through it again and again until you master it..

My aunt said it best, "it's like a fighter preparing for a fight. You practiced, prepared, you fought, you lost, now get up and get stronger and fight harder and you will WIN!!!!! I totally believe it.. So here goes nothing.. I will take a couple of days off.. Rest the brain and body and try again...

In life nothing ventured... Nothing gained...
