Magic formula for dealing with disappointment

Chip Conley in his latest book Emotional Equations has a developed a great emotional equation to deal with disappointment & I am sure the Aussie 4 x 100 m swim team will be needing all the support they can get at the moment.


Chip's great equation is Disappointment = Expectations - reality.

Expected to win the Gold Medal, the team came 4th and earned the "leather medal" (4th after the Bronze), which no doubt has created a huge amount of disappointment in the team and around Australia.


So let's see how resilient the swimmers are & how well they bounce back from the disappointment. 


Feelings are impermanent and it is a measure of our intelligence how well we deal with them....I am sure there will be plenty more highs and lows over the next few weeks.
