Prepare For and Expect Disappointment

 Another way to prevent anger is by preparing for and expecting disappointment. Expect to be frustrated because of other people's mistakes, carelessness, shortcomings and selfishness resulting from a sinful nature. Prepare yourself for the worst when dealing with people. Decide beforehand how you would react  and act towards them. Kung nagpautang ka sa isang tao, i-prepare mo na ang sarili mo na baka hindi ka nya bayaran. Anong gagawain mo ngayon? Papatawarin mo na lang kasi pag hindi ka willing magpatawad, huwag ka na lang magpautang in the first place. Maraming tao ang hindi nagbabayad, so prepare yourself for this. Nasabi mo tuloy: "Sabi ko na nga ba, e.* Hindi naman abnormal na natural ka dahil handa ka nang ma-disappoint at di ka na surprised. Whenever you ask people to do something, expect that they might not able to do it. We are not saying this so that people might be tolerated not to perform well. No, but that there must be some reservation in our hearts for people's carelessness, mistakes and shortcomings. Otherwise, we will be driven to fits of anger. Organization and management people usually get angry because corporate goals were not met. Kaya maglalagay din tayo ng human factor sa plans natin, na somehow something might go wrong. May kasabihan: If something can go wrong it will. Let's prepare ourselves. Let's take people as imperfect beings like ourselves. So umpisa pa lang ay alam na natin that one of these days, This person will frustrate me. This friend, this boyfriend,  this husband or wife,  this mother or father, this brother or sister of mine, no matter how tall they seem to me now, will fall one of these days. When that happens, I would be ready to forgive. Kaya tayo nahe-hurt ay dahil ang ine-expect natin ay perfection. Ine-expect natin ay perfection from others 100%  of the time. And when our expectations are not met, we get angry. Let's leave room for people to be human and to commit mistakes without getting us off the track. Let's prepare ourselves to this: it is one of the greatest ways to prevent undue anger.
