Expectations and disappointment

When you have certain expectations, there's bound to be disappointment when those expectations are not met. When you don't have expectations, disappointment will still find its way to taunt you.
I want neither of it.. it's making life so miserable..
But i find solace in His words..
"Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.....Endure hardship as discipline. God is treating you as sons (and daughters)... " Hebrews 12
A reminder to self:
Stop putting your hopes and expectations on people. They MAY disappoint. God doesn't.
When filled with disappointment, anger and frustration, GET A GRIP AND MOVE ON! don't dwell in the zone too long.. its damaging.
Last but not least, good or bad..take it all in with a SMILE..
Easier said than done..haih..urghh..
