Life Lessons: Expectations

If there's anything I know how one thing goes, its expectations. It is what we consider to what most likely will happen. But what if things does not turn out the way we want it to be? Frustration kicks in. Disappointment and hurt. Consider the weight of your expectations. The higher the expectation the higher chance you most likely be disappointed. Why? Because we built this concept in our head that things and people should be done and behave certain ways. Its like would our fantasy meet with our reality? Well sometimes yes and sometimes no. Its like people, you expect someone to be this superhero role model in your head but ends up doing the most Ahole-ish thing you've seen. Image crushed. You end up hating them for what they did and sometimes affects the whole perception of his superhero role model. Leaves our hearts crushed.

Its like the weatherman telling you tomorrow will have clear skies and sunshine so you decide to go to the beach first thing in the morning, you wake up excited and ready to go out and then the clouds starts to darken and rain starts falling. That has never happened to me before but that would really suck. Dalai Lama said "I am open to the guidance of synchronicity, and do not let expectations hinder my path". So yes, the simplest solution is taking all your expectations and throwing it out the window. The less you expect, the less you get hurt. Do everything in your power to do good and don't expect people to appreciate you in return. Accept the reality that it is what it is. Plus, if you are happy with what you are doing you don't really need people to see and say something about that. Its like the random act of kindness we see around. So stop expecting and start appreciating.
