Disappointed Quote by Max Andrew Dubinsky
““I wanted to interrupt the world of each stranger passing between us, shake them and tell them to wake up, to consider being disappointed a gift. We are anxious human beings, desperately seeking approval because we’ve invested our hope for happiness in things which will inevitably let us down. Your family. Your job. Sex. Pornography. School. It’s time for you to realize disappointment is God’s way of reminding you – his creation – that you’ve invested your life into something other than him. Things that will never live up to their expectations.””
