Expectations ruin everything. It spoils your romantic date if you expect your partner to gift you a set of diamonds instead of a bouquet of fresh flowers. It spoils your day if you plan how the day will pan out for you, or you are hoping that your colleague or close ones would appreciate that you have worked hard in life.
You need to accept and not expect from other person’s actions and reactions. This is something beyond your control so why worry and disturb your mental peace because of this.
People come and surround you, some make you feel loved, some stupid while some bring out the worst in you. But all these feelings and expectations from someone are temporary. Expecting that someone will love you, might have reached its peak but then declines. Expecting that people would not laugh at your embarrassing situation but when they did, it made you more comfortable around them. Also expecting that others won’t judge you in your wrongdoing, and if they did it runs a huge mental turmoil initially but then motivates you to correct them.
The negative feeling bursting out of your expectation outbreak will affect you initially but would eventually subside making you indifferent towards it. You should know how to not expect from each situation. And this is an excellent art to develop in your life.
It’s better to develop this art early in life or else your life would always be like a mirage. You would be pointing to the pool of expectations set in your mind, which will prove to be pointless when you draw yourself closer to reality. From a distance your expectation would surround you with a rosy illusion, but the nearer you head to reality, the false image created would be visible to you.
Let’s not live in denial and accept life as is. Smile the way out and enjoy the journey, rather than constantly brooding over what is next?
Always tell yourself “Accept, Don’t Except”
