March of Gratitude Day 20: Disappointment

Today is day 20 of March of Gratitude and I am grateful for disappointment.

Disappointment tells me when I really had my heart set on something. It tells me when I gave more effort on a project or a goal. It tells me that I’ve been thinking about the desired outcome more than others. It tells me that I don’t have full control of every (any) situation.

Maybe, more importantly, my lack of disappointment tells me I didn’t want – or need – that ‘thing’ in the first place.

And that realization is truly gratifying.

What are you #Grateful for today?
