EXPECTATIONS!!

“Expectations” the worst word i know right now…

People not only expect much from themselves but expect from others too..More the expectations , more fear it creates in you. It’s never easy for anyone to live a life full of expectations.

Instead of feeling excited and liberated , I feel like now at this age healing through the reckoning and responsibility is much more bigger challenge and to shoulder the responsibilities , just because of the expectations of others who belongs to this biased society.

I expected myself to be successful, which eventually escalated into expectations of perfection in all areas of my life.

” Too much expectation leads to Sadness.”

Surprisingly, it’s never easy to remain free and happy if your fear of expectation pressurizes you to remain unhappy and not let you to open the wings of your dreams and allow you to fly high above in the sky.

” Having less expectation leads to more exploration and trust.”

Oh, this is so juicy !! when expectation rule our lives , we set ourselves up for disappointment . Then guess what?? we judge ourselves harshly for it .

May be the most peaceful and quickest way to achieve something is a way you haven’t thought of yet . Be willing to go with the flow.

So, if you want your conscious mind to live in peace with your subconscious mind, then the only thing is to let go of living up to others expectations.

This life is yours & yours only and no one should take charge of it. The power to control your own subconscious mind lies in your hand only , you can take your own best interest.

We all are like fish in a bowl – they grow to the size of their bowl , that is the size of expectations, if you expect them to succeed a little , they will live up to that , and if you expect them to achieve more they will live up to that too..

If you live by others expectation , you are not flexible because you are limited to a range of expectations.

So, if you live up to others expectations, you are not open to explore more that what is expected of you – that is life.

“Waking up to who you are, requires letting go of what others think yourself to be.”

We do not try because we do not think we can…If you want to feel powerful and in control, let go of living by others expectations because expectations not only destroys someone but rather sometimes it may destroy someone’s life too.

So, before taking any decision in pressure of expectations, just ask yourself this –

Does this match my feeling? Does it feel right to me? After this decision would it make me happy?

If you get answer to all these questions from the core of your heart then i am sure you will be happy.

This is not bulletproof , but it makes much easier to sleep at night without any fear or tension.

At last, The secret of happiness is low expectations 🙂
