We will probably never understand
all of life's disappointments,
but each disappointment is a chance
to draw closer to yourself -
find your own strengths,
and realize that you can make it
even when the dream shatters.
You begin to see that when one dream ends,
you can always begin to dream again -
and for as long as you can dream,
you can find new places in life,
set new goals, and build a new and
more solid foundation, with new and
better expectations of what life can offer...

With each disappointment you can
better find yourself,
and see more clearly
just how strong a person
you're becoming.
