The greatest disappointment in your life wasn’t invented by other people. You invented it yourself, even before you made that gesture.
There’s a simple rule that almost no one will admit out loud: the less you expect an equivalent response to your gesture, the fewer reasons you’ll have to be disappointed.
The problem isn’t that someone didn’t reciprocate. The problem is that you made the gesture counting on a specific reaction, without even saying that to yourself. The reaction didn’t match your expectation, and you felt undervalued, when in fact you were simply evaluated differently.
Everyone has their own currency in which they express care. For one person it’s money and gifts, for another it’s time, for a third it’s being present at the right moment. You count in your currency and get upset that you’re being paid in another, when it’s just different accounting systems.
A strategist doesn’t cancel gestures, but stops attaching expectations to them. Do it because you want to do it right now, not because an equivalent return will come later.
Disappointment almost always springs not from someone else’s action but from your unspoken contract that the other party never signed.
