How to Deal with Disappointment

Every one of us has been disappointed by a family member, friend or work colleague before.  

And sometimes, we even disappoint ourselves.

When we are upset about how something turned out in our lives, it is easy to blame others or ourselves for being careless. We also assume that the other person did not think about our feelings or we were dumb in not predicting a certain outcome.
