Expectations- An overview!
They say;
Expectations always hurts!
Everyone who agrees to this phrase has their own perception, experiences and reasonings behind it.
Expectations that are never met leads to disappointment and huge conflicts. When you expect someone to do something for you but that never happens brings you to sheer sadness.
Mostly our lifes are filled with many unfulfilled expectations associated with our loved ones , peers, family, friends or anyone else. Expectations of present and future that how it will work? And what will happen? Will the results be in our favour or not? can make a person go crazy and the results can range from mild disappointment to fierce anger and great pain.
Expectations varies from time to time and in certain age groups. A 4 year old may have different wants and expectations from life than a 40 years old. When we are in school we might expect to get good grades and be out teacher’s favourite and once we get to college we only expect life to be fair enough to let us complete our degree and join the competitive markets.
A poor man expect to get a better living while a rich man expect to get more wealth. A weak man expects more health and healthy man expects to enhance his skills. As a traveller, we expect to reach our destination on time. At some point in life when they fail to achieve their expected goals they get disappointed and hurt and the entire world seems to fall apart.
We can easily put responsibility of all our failed expectations on other people or all external forces. But, actually, all the expectations are our creations. They are a product of our own thoughts and long held as beliefs. Sometimes we create our own heartbreaks through expectations.
As humans, our society has normally programmed us to focus on negatives more than positives. That’s why we never think about all those events that come out as we expected. We normally fail to see how much our life is accordance to our expectations. Our life is a bucket of unconscious expectations that carry us along in everything we do. In fact, our whole world view is a mass of mostly unconscious expectations.
Expect always come from hope and hope come from expectations. The more we are hopeful about something the larger we have expectations. They usually have their own momentum and carries great power.
We should "expect the best" as the majestic power of expectations allows us to pass things in life. The power of expectations helps us in bringing things to pass. We should stay positive no matter what happens in life. I have gone through much in life yet never stopped myself to expect because we have promised an uncertain life which can be mystical at times, we are told to expect and we should expect to get more and more. Expectations have great power. Without these expectations we would have to sort everything out from scratch in life. Expectations should be carried in a creative way.
Because;
An Expectation is not a promise, neither it guarantees anything yet it creates hope and allows us to stay positive whatever the results are because peace only began when expectations end.
