Expectations
& Disappointments
When
we want people to be the way we prefer, they may disappoint us.
When we expect
ourselves to achieve and succeed, we may disappoint ourselves.
When we set up
standards for how our families or friends should be, we often are disappointed.
When we compare
ourselves with others or what we admire, we will often be disappointed.
What are your expectations?
How do you want
to be seen?
What have you
agreed to accomplish?
Do you prefer to
be free or have expectations for yourself?
Everyone
is changing and rearranging their lives according to what they feel is needed.
Some are trying to
conform.
Some are trying to
succeed.
Some don’t care.
Who are you pleasing?
Are you expecting
others to do what you want?
Do you look for
standards of behavior in relating?
Are you
accommodating your parents, partner, friends or a worldly or spiritual
standard?
Some
have a mission, principles and guidelines in their lives.
Some seek to learn
and some teach what they are learning.
Some are seeking for
what to believe and how to live.
Some are resting and
choosing a comfort zone in which to live.
Our
lives seem to intersect and connect as needed.
We each seem to
follow our own guidelines.
Many are regularly
disappointed by others choices.
We may give up our
expectations and simply allow trust in freedom of choice.
Observe
faulty expectations and how often they yield disappointment.
Observe how being
dependent on others choices is a set up for being disappointed.
Observe how your own
choices are not always dependable and consider allowing change.
Observe how life
offers infinite opportunities for change and being stuck may create inner
conflict.
Weather
changes and so do moods and attitudes.
Creation is every
changing and expanding exponentially.
Openness and
willingness invites alternative choices and changes.
Relationships,
finances, creations, opportunities are always changing and rearranging.
Consider
being surprised instead of disappointed.
Consider
appreciating rather than criticizing.
Consider loving and
learning rather than fearing and limiting.
Consider awakening
and allowing all things to work together for Good.
Loving
it all as I let go and trust in Good for Goodness Sake,

Do It Anyway by Kent M. Keith
People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered.
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true
enemies. Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you.
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy it all overnight.
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous.
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough.
Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God.
It
was never between you and them anyway.
