I know all the lines, all the proverbs, all the suggestions. I suck at following them. “Brick walls are only there to see how badly you want something.”

I'm Glad you liked the post. Yes, I love that phrase, "when one door closes, another door opens." I just jumped over to your website, it looks very good nice. I'll have to check it out and tell other people about it. Good Luck! Ryan Hey Ted!

I searched on how to deal with disappointment and came across your posting. I have long been a proponent of the idea that when chaos strikes you have to pick your head up and look for the opportunities. Sometimes, when the chaos strikes YOU instead of the World or other people, it's a bit harder to think that way. But, you're right, the old sage of, "when one door closes another one opens" is exactly true. You just have to quit banging your head on the one that closed to see the one that has opened. I recently created a new Web site that I believe will become very popular. That is a far cry from the work that I was doing that I just can't do any longer. It's how I made a living for many years, and my "goal vehicle" was simply to make a living. That's not much of a goal. I need a better goal. Making a living is good, but I've learned that I can look for abundance and not mere sustenance. Well, thanks for this posting. Thanks for a great posting.

Thanks for stopping by the blog sir, if you're really having a bad day, I just posted a video at <a href="http://ryanmhall.com" rel="nofollow">The Ryan M Hall Blog.</a> Be sure to check it out. It makes me really happy that you got something from this article. I've been dealing with a LOT of potentially disappointing situations lately, both personal and professional, and I have bounced back nicely thanks to the steps outlined above. To be honest, it's been trying but I am enjoying the ideas I get thanks to it. I actually had two scripts trashed in two weeks and we had to halt production on one of the films I'm working on. It's been a bit harsh, but I'm excited for what I can do with it all. After all, if I didn't have these challenges, I wouldn't know so clearly that I want something else. Look at it all as a chance to focus on what you do want, and you will grow leaps and bounds in your happiness. I'm glad to hear you are writing again! I hope you continue, you were always very descriptive. I'm anticipating reading some more of your work. Keep in touch, and make sure to subscribe to the blogs, or I'll start emailing you every time I post anything and annoy you. :) Talk to you soon, (seriously) Ryan Hey John!

I recently was passed over for promotion at work. My boss quit last month, and for over three weeks I was doing her job on top of my job. I worked 10- and 12-hour days to keep the department running (even went in on weekends!), I executed several policy changes and adjustments, and I worked on a big project. I thought all of this gave me the edge over my new boss, but it was seemingly for naught… …the leadership saw fit to promote someone from a different department; now, I’m training my boss for a job I was already doing and well seasoned at. Sucks, but I believe that A. everything happens for a reason and B. perhaps in the grand scheme of things, I wasn’t ready to take on this advanced position. While I am still reeling with the disappointment, I have come to accept that all my hard work is indeed not in vain. It was a great opportunity to step up and learn and do more and have that much more experience. However, that being said, I am still struggling with the first phase you mentioned: Do I stay the course and press on for another opportunity for advancement with this company, or do I look for another job? The essence remains the same: advancement and furthering the devolvement of my career. I just have to decide if I want to remain in the vehicle I’m in, or find a new path. (As a quasi-related side note, I have been starting to write outlines and short stories again; so, perhaps not getting a more-involved and stressful position will leave time for me to cultivate these lifelong ambitions of mine, hmmm?) Back to what I was saying—Wow, your blog and advice on dealing with disappointment and moving on is EXACTLY what I need right now. I took two pages of handwritten notes. I’m going to sleep on your guidance and come to decision on what exactly to do by the end of the week. So, my most esteemed and wise friend, I thank you for taking the time to share this with us. I couldn’t have asked for better advice; in fact, I didn’t have to—you had already written it out for me! Funny how that law of attraction works sometimes, eh? Okay, I’ve clearly written enough. I will try to call you soon or send me an email. I know we’ve got a lot of catching up to do, and I’m sorry I’m not the best at staying in touch! I hope that all is well with you and yours! With Love and Admiration, John Hey, Ryan:
