Disappointments Quotes

“Our critics make us strong!
Our fears make us bold!
Our haters make us wise!
Our foes make us active!
Our obstacles make us passionate!
Our losses make us wealthy!
Our disappointments make us appointed!
Our unseen treasures give us a
known peace!

Whatever is designed against us will work for us!”
― Israelmore Ayivor, The Great Hand Book of Quotes

“There is a law of the natural worlds (the spiritual and the physical) and this is something I have understood: that for every genuine existence, for every real manifestation and occurrence, there are are ten thousand falsities. Before you meet what or who is genuine, you will first have met, or known of, what is fake; and ten thousand times so! There is no need to feel disappointments, any number below ten thousand deceptions renders you a lucky person! And you ask why is there a need for this to happen? Well, if you have not known what is false first, there is no way to understand what then comes which is truth. What is lesser is so afraid of what is genuine, that it finds it necessary to imitate and duplicate that imitation ten thousand times over, for fear that you will finally meet what is real. The more important that one existence is, the more imitations there are in the world.”

“It is hope--with regard to our careers, our love lives, our children, our politicians, and our planet--that is primarily to blame for angering and embittering us.

“Just because a person says they are Christian it doesn't mean they are emotionally evolved. Churches are full of spiritually dysfunctional people that stumbled into church because of some wound they received in life from another person. Everyone is at their unique stage of spiritual evolution. Some can ask for forgiveness or forgive others. Then there are some that only believe in the old testament- an eye for an eye. Expect nothing from people that call themselves Christian and you won't be disappointed.”
― Shannon L. Alder, The Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Bible: Spiritual Recovery from Narcissistic and Emotional Abuse

“We get to grab the pen and write the next line. We aren’t starting a whole new book; we are just writing a new chapter. The last chapter of our life ended with the loss—the divorce, the death of a dream, the career collapse, whatever it may be. Even though it ended, this is where the story gets good. We get to decide what happens next. If we are still alive, we get to dream!
You haven’t lost it all. You are still here! This isn’t the end of your story; it’s the start of a new chapter, and you, my friend, are holding the pen. What do you want your story to be?”
― Kayla Stoecklein, Rebuilding Beautiful: Welcome What Is, Dare to Dream Again, and Step Bravely into What Could Be

“Each of us is shaped by mysterious forces beyond our understanding, caught in the fragments of memories, fears or disappointments. Among the countless experiences that life has given me, the idea of God stands out as the most disillusioning. While I can draw comfort from humanity's weaknesses, it remains difficult to reconcile myself with the portrayal of God as presented to me. My only consolation lies in the possibility that among the multitude of religions and faiths that populate our world, none has the ultimate truth and none has the key to understanding the nature of God.”
― Rolf van der Wind

“The anxiety that attaches to periodic payments is very specific. It eventually sets in train a parallel process which weighs down on us day after day even though we never become conscious of the objective relationship involved. It haunts the human project, not immediate practice. An object that is mortgaged escapes us in time, and has in fact escaped us from the outset. It flees us, and its flight echoes that of the serial object ever vainly striving towards the model. This dual movement of things away from our grasp is what creates the latent fragility and ever-imminent disappointments of the world of objects that surrounds us.”
― Jean Baudrillard, The System of Objects
