Yes. Disappointment, when we stop treating it like a mistake, becomes an initiation. Not a punishment, but a pulling back of the veil.

The false self always thinks something went wrong. The deeper self knows this is the moment things begin to go right. Not because it feels good, but because it clears the way. It breaks the illusion we mistook for belonging. It calls us home to something truer.

Thank you, David. This reminds me that heartbreak is not the end. It is the threshold. And the ground it brings us to is real.

Disappointment as a catalyst for resilience and firmer footing of our self…such a gorgeous way to think of disappointment and so very true. Thank you!
