Satisfaction
Disappointments are a part of life.
Especially when you set your heart on something, strive passionately to achieve
your goal and either fail or achieve it only partially, certainly not to your
satisfaction.
"Satisfaction" is the key word.
At what level is there a feeling of satisfaction? And what gives that satisfaction?
Is it personal recognition? Being a celebrity? Having plenty of money and power?
Or touching the lives of people? To name just a few, and there are so many
more.
Someone gave me a wonderful perspective on
why we don't reach high points of success despite efforts. Or why there would
be a break in career patterns, for example.
The soul comes with an agenda which does
not necessarily include demands of a worldly ego. So, you are presented with
episodes which are there as your lessons for this life. What YOU yourself have
chosen to come and learn on this earth. When the soul is satisfied or saturated,
it does not need for you to continue the effort towards what was really not
meant to last beyond its time. You therefore, drop old activities naturally and
new things and new opportunities start to happen to you.
So, disappointments are odious. It is the
ego identity which creates a negative impact on a positive outcome. Everything
is positive, if you understand the soul as being your core, not the body.

Interesting exercise
The irony of life is that it can be
understood only on the rewind mode whereas it has to be lived in the play and
fast forward mode. Another contradiction is that we are told not to delve into
the past whereas, if we didn't, how would we learn from it?
Learning from the past works in two ways.
Learn what to do and also what not to do. Going forward then becomes an
interesting exercise. Like experiencing every wave as it washes over you, each
one different in its quality, speed and impact. There is no warning. You can
get knocked down or learn to tread water. But learning is definite.
