2. Know that you too have the ability to disappoint people. It is a human thing 3. Make plans but have room for adjustments and surprises
4. Don’t worry too much about things you don’t have control of
5. Remember sometimes God allows people to disappoint you to teach you a lesson on patience, understanding and even love
6. Moderate your expectations. Sometimes people will not do as promised or they may not fulfill their promise when and how you want them 7. When a loved one disappoints you, don’t forget the many times he/she was there for you
