Yes, it is true. You can sometimes work so hard for something
you want and NOT GET IT or KEEP IT.
Crushing…That is the only way to word to describe
the emotion that you feel today not making the team. I know. I have been
there. TOO MANY TIMES. EXACTLY LIKE TODAY….
This is the time when you work so hard for
something for so long, to pour your time, talent, energy, existence into a goal
and then not reach it or have it taken from you. You dream about it, you taste
it, you see it and then you cannot get it or keep it.
It is a dark, dark place. A place that I knew you
would one day go; however, where no mother ever wants to see their child no
matter if you are 4 or 40.
There is no way to change it now, and to know
that God has a plan even if you don’t see it.
You need to embrace the moment.
I always say these intense disappointments that
make no sense at the time are God’s not so subtle way of saying you are not
where you are supposed to be. And
acceptance and understanding of that does not come easy.
"Our lives are not determined by what
happens to us but by how we react to what happens, not by what life brings to
us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain
reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst, a spark
that creates extraordinary results. -Anon."
The lesson is to find that spark of positive
attitude in the crushing emotion of disappointment and harness it to light a
fire to place that you never thought you had the potential to go.
