Expectations

Although I may never know exactly what you want from your life, I can say without a doubt that there are very specific things that you want & that you hold close to your heart. In my mind, I create scenarios, their probable outcomes, & think about the likelihood of the different outcomes. I will then attempt to make a decision on my course of action that will take me in the direction of my goals. I can almost never say for sure that I my course will come together as I plan or imagine, but I can rest easily knowing that I will be led in the right direction.

The thing that I attempt to avoid is placing the expectations I create on others & on the outcomes of my situations. I find that when we place expectations on others & on ourselves, we are often let down because things fall short of the expectations we set. I have found that I am my own biggest critic. This does not mean that we should not set goals for ourselves & have limits on what we will accept & what we will not allow in our lives.

We should always know & stay in tune with what we are looking for in a partner & what we know we do not want. This is not the same as expectations, because these are limits that we should all set in our lives that not only protect us from unhappiness but also ensure that we stay on our road to what will ultimately make us happy. So, today I challenge you to take a closer look at your life & ensure that you are not placing unrealistic expectations on those you LOVE. You would not want to waste any of the limited time that you are given in this life on being unhappy or upset unnessarily. Peace, LOVE, & Happiness to you all!!!

Bless You!
