Expectations

Today I have been feeling low all day, I guess it was because of the early morning argument with my better half on a mundane issue, His refusal to act on the same left me soooooo disappointed and that was the end of my positive energy for the day. Well, I thought about it and thought about it ......(you know how we women are) and finally reached a conclusion after much debate with myself that the sole reason for the reaction was that I expected him to understand how I felt and react and act and he did not which left me wild with the disappointment.

And extending that to the many times that we have been unhappy, dejected and disappointed is the fact that we expected something out of a situation, person or proposal and when the expectation was not met, it plunges us into depression and disappointment. This is true of our interaction with fellow humans, results for our effort, kudos from the boss or compliments on the new wardrobe add in.

I think to not have an expectation is difficult and supremely godly to achieve, (if you do, good for you) but a start can be made by steeling ourselves to expect both an accept and a reject and be prepared for either. This is not to say that there will be no disappointment but that there will be lesser disappointment to an issue.

I am going to give it a try , let me know if it helps you too.

Till we meet again
