The devastating scale and frequency of my disappointment was proof of how much I still expected and wanted from the world, of what high hopes I still had for it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have disappointed and failed to live up to the standard I expected of myself.
Sometimes your disappointments make you a stronger person for the future.
Sometimes when you've had a long series of disappointing things happen, you can get into the very bad habit of just expecting more of what you've already had.
The size of your success is measured by the strength of your desire; the size of your dream; and how you handle disappointment along the way.
Other people may not have had high expectations for me... but I had high expectations for myself.
Sometimes when you get disappointment it makes you stronger.
Success was one of my weakest points. I was so ill-prepared for it. I never appreciated within myself the gift of success. I never accepted it. People gave me so much momentum and love, and people really got my music, but I didn't accept it. That's probably one of my biggest regrets.
How disappointment tracks the steps of hope.
I wish I had had a great disappointment, a real one.
I see disappointment as something small and aggregate rather than something unified or great. With a little effort, every failure can be turned into something good.
