How to Deal With Disappointment

Not getting what you want is an unavoidable part of life. The way you choose to handle it is what you can control.

“Happiness isn't found in some finite checklist of goals that we can diligently complete and then coast. It's how we live our lives in the process. That's why the four pillars of happiness are faith, family, community, and meaningful work. Those are priorities we have to keep investing in.”
