All three of those words typically lead to disappointment.
But they don’t have to.
Not to that high of a level of disappointment.
Consider the beer bar that puts a sign on the empty shelf stating “fresh options coming Thursday” versus just leaving the shelf empty. Disappointing, maybe still, but now there’s something to look forward to.
Joking to a mother saying the goblins ate all the sugar waffle cones to ease the disappointment of her child who came in wanting one made all the difference to their experience. Disappointed still, yes, but no tears.
The level of disappointment we create is a choice.
Best we plan for how we’ll act when a delivery never arrives, when something spoils, when we’re late to an important gathering and so on.
