Expectations

 Expectations 

It is true that everyone has been disappointed at least once. And this talking in general. But have we ever wonder what is that causes this disappointment? It's important to say that I'm talking from my own experience and point of view and that mean that you can either agree with me or not and that's totally fine.

I'll dare to say that if not all, 99% of disappointments in our life have been caused by expectations. Allow me to make myself clear. We generate expectations everyday from waking up to going to bed of how great we expect the day to be, how we expect things we want to come to us, and the main point I want to emphasise is expecting people to react the way we want, we expect them to return what we give them,  we expect to receive what we give. But disappointingly life is not a wish granted factory, it just does not work that way. 

Creating expectations is nothing but some way of creating disappointment as well. Because something is true and I can assure you life won't ever be the way you always wanted because even if it were, you would always want more. It a constant cycle that never ends. I won't lie to you if I tell you that you're never gonna receive what you give. Stop giving with the expectation of receiving. Because there will be sometimes in which you receive more and other some, less.

If you expect a lot from others you're automatically cursing them to disappoint you, not because they are bad but because they don't fulfil your expectations. They don't need to. And in fact they shouldn't.

It's impressive to know that people who exceed your expectations and people who disappoint can suddenly change roles. This because we expect instead of comprehend. I have discovered that it's impossible to fully understand other mind and why they act the way they do. All you can do is love them just that way, give from heart and not expect anything back. 

Moreover, life is not that bad, don't get me wrong. What I mean is that everything you give, it comes back, the thing is that, it's not always the way we expect it. It comes back in all different ways and sometimes we don't even notice. 

Whenever you stop expecting everything to be someway and you start just living and loving the way things are, you'll be able to be happy but most importantly to be in peace. Give everything from you and if it is not enough, just leave but you'll be in peace. Maybe if you're not, it means you have something else to give.
