Let Go of Disappointment
Julie Murphy • August 19, 2021
Every season of your life brings in new adventures that are exciting but can often be a time of uncertainty. Moving away from your hometown, changing careers, getting married or other exciting life milestones feel like they should be filled with unbridled happiness, but many times end up less than the perfect scenario we envisioned on our journey.
Each time we set out to achieve a new goal or realize our dreams, we’re met with disappointment at various points on our path. Just because things don’t always go as planned doesn’t mean you should abandon your hopes of ever being successful. Learning how to deal with disappointment along the way is just as important as the accomplishments you seek.
The things that are most worth it in life – whether it be love, a dream career or being parents – rarely come easy. There will always be struggles, no matter how good you may have it. But those that are most successful know how to keep those struggles, both the everyday annoyances and more significant disappointments, in their place.
What does that mean? When thinking of a traditionally successful person, what comes to mind first is probably someone who has little-to-no debt with a job they love and a perfect marriage. Let’s get one thing straight: no one’s situation is perfect. So let’s redefine success for a moment. Why don’t we stop viewing success as achieved perfection and start viewing it as thriving within imperfection.
Keep in mind that stressors and struggles are a part of life for everyone despite the appearance they may show the rest of the world. Emotional disappointments will weigh you down sometimes. Emotional clutter can definitely disrupt peace and serenity. But emotional clutter and disappointment don’t have to keep you in a negative state.
It’s easy to let the disappointment you experience along your journey to keep you in a negative space. Dwelling on the bad is so simple when the good feels like it’s few and far between. Instead of focusing on the negative and kicking yourself for not being as “successful” as those around you appear to be, embrace the imperfections and start learning to thrive despite them. Or even because of them!
Action step
We will all face disappointments in our lives – no one is immune to bad days, tough times and the struggles that come with being parents, spouses, offspring and working adults. Lucky for you, the choice of whether those stressors will tear you down is completely up to you. Will it be hard make the choice to thrive some days? Absolutely. But remember that those continuing to take steps towards an authentic life – especially during the hard days – will be some of the most fulfilling moments one can experience.
It’s time to let go of disappointment: with your family, your friends and especially with yourself. If you are carrying so many burdens on a daily basis that it is weighing you down, let go of some of those emotional disappointments. Clear the emotional clutter and create a space of acceptance and tranquility to allow yourself to fully connect with your inner desires. Doing this is the most rapid way to allow your authentic self to come to the surface.

What if nothing is wrong with your life? What if the frustration you feel... The anxiety around money... The constant striving... The feeling that something is missing... Isn't a sign that you're failing. What if it's simply your soul trying to wake you up? So many of us spend our lives searching for the next thing we believe will finally make us feel whole. More money. A different relationship. A better job. A healthier body. Another vacation. Another achievement. Another finish line. Yet somehow, after every accomplishment, that feeling quietly returns. "There has to be more than this." And there is. Not because your life is lacking. Because you've been taught to look for fulfillment in places it was never meant to come from. One of the greatest lessons I've learned is that life is always working for us, even when it doesn't feel like it. Every challenge... Every financial struggle... Every relationship... Every fear... Every success... They're all invitations. Not punishments. Invitations to become more aware. Because awareness changes everything. You can't transform a belief you don't know you're carrying. You can't heal a wound you refuse to acknowledge. You can't create a different future while living from yesterday's programming. This is why I don't believe true wealth begins with your bank account. It begins with your awareness. Money simply magnifies the relationship you already have with yourself. If you believe you're not enough... No amount of money will ever feel like enough. If you don't trust yourself... It won't matter how much financial security you create. You'll still feel uncertain. Real wealth isn't something we earn. It's something we uncover. It's been within us all along, buried beneath years of conditioning, fear, expectations, and stories that were never ours to begin with. When we begin clearing away those layers, something beautiful happens. We stop chasing. We start creating. We stop reacting. We begin choosing. We stop living from fear. We begin living from love. That's where abundance begins. Not outside of you. Inside of you. That's why I created the 21-Day Wake Up Wealth Challenge . Not to teach you how to make more money. Not to convince you that positive thinking changes everything. But to give you space. Space to slow down. Space to become aware. Space to notice the patterns you've been living from without even realizing it. Over the course of 21 days, you'll begin seeing yourself differently. You'll explore the beliefs shaping your financial life. You'll reconnect with your intuition. You'll learn how your emotions influence your decisions. Most importantly... You'll begin remembering that you already have everything within you to create a life that feels aligned, peaceful, and abundant. The challenge isn't about becoming someone new. It's about coming home to who you've always been. If your heart has been whispering that it's time for something different... Listen. It may be the beginning of everything. I'd love to walk this journey with you. Because your greatest investment has never been in the stock market. It's always been in yourself. And when you awaken that relationship... Everything else begins to change. With Love, Julie P.S. Sometimes the biggest transformation doesn't happen because life changes around us. It happens because we finally become aware of the life we've been creating, and realize we have the power to create something new. If you're ready, I'd love to have you join us for the 21-Day Wake Up Wealth Challenge.
Real financial freedom isn't about accumulating more. It's about creating choice.
Many people believe abundance is something they need to create outside of themselves.

Your ability to create wealth has far less to do with numbers… and far more to do with what’s happening inside of you.
