When you are Disappointed

In the actual fact, we are not disappointed, we are only repositioned  – Femi Adediran,  2020

It is perfectly human to get bitter after a disappointment, but nobody gets bitter and perform better  – Femi Adediran,  2020

Sometimes until we are disappointed we do not “see” our (better) options  – Femi Adediran,  2020

Every disappointment is a “lesson” in disguise. We only become blessed and become a blessing to others when we learn the lessons that comes with our disappointment  – Femi Adediran, 2020


When you feel disappointed in yourself, do not lose your confidence. Tell yourself you are getting better. When you feel disappointed by others, do not lose your mind. Forgive quickly and learn the lesson(s) . When you feel disappointed by God, do not lose your trust in Him. Ask for Grace to trust Him more – Femi Adediran, 2020

Expectation, they say , is the mother of miracles, Disappointments also are born by Expectations. It is what keeps hope alive! We are hopeful because we have expectations. We become disappointed because of unmet expectations. Disappointments  be hurting points but they are also turning points. We  have regrets when we are Disappointed but it is for our re-dress. If only we know that our Disappointments are for a better appointment

Disappointments are for redirection. Our disappointments are inversely proportional to the capacity of our heart. The smaller your heart, the bigger your disappointment. The bigger your heart, the smaller your disappointment. There is no big or small disappointment. Disappointments only occupy the amount of space you give to it in your head. It is perfectly human to get bitter after a disappointment, but nobody gets bitter and perform better

When you are disappointed, be quick to kiss your sorrow goodbye and leave it where it belongs. Your Past Bitterness is a “dis-ease” in the heart. Disappointments are not to make us blind but to open our eyes to new possibilities and new realities of our lives. Sometimes until we are disappointed we do not “see” our (better) options. Disappointment looks like what is tearing us down but it is actually building us up for a new and “a better us”. Every disappointment is a bend to a breakthrough. Your disappointment is preparing you for your eventual appointment. Thank God for your disappointment. We become disappointed so we would learn not to disappoint others

  • Disappointment will teach you kindness
  • Disappointment will teach you empathy
  • Disappointment will teach you humility
  • Disappointment will teach you sympathy
  • Disappointment will teach you faithfulness

Every disappointment is a lesson in disguise. We only become blessed and become a blessing to others when we learn the lessons that comes with our disappointment. In actual fact, we are not disappointed, we are only repositioned

  • When you feel disappointed in yourself, do not lose your confidence. Tell yourself you are getting better.
  • When you feel disappointed by others, do not lose your mind. Forgive quickly and learn the lesson(s)
  • When you feel disappointed by God, do not lose your trust in Him. Ask for Grace to trust Him more.
