Disappointment

What is disappointment but an expected happening or event that fails to materialize. Without expectation how can there be disappointment?

We set ourselves up for possible disappointment every time we leave the security and reality of the present moment to pursue fantasy. Failure to receive those expected results, can lead to resentment which further disables our ability to allow abundance to flow in our lives.

Fantasy and daydreaming are useful in pointing out gaps, needs and wants in our present circumstances. Rather then remaining fixated on fantasy, use its cue to determine what feeling is missing in the now that is being sought in the then. When you become aware of fantasy's appearance, you can determine if it is appropriate to pursue in the present moment.

There is a manifesting meditation technique detailed in the Optimum Self eBook that trains you to concentrate on the feeling that you believe will result when the thing you desire finally arrives.

For example, you may have a desire to acquire a new home, when what you really seek are the accompanying feelings of comfort and security. When practicing this technique, the concentration is placed on the attainment of the feeling without forcing, allowing the universe to unfold and look after the details.
