Expectation/TGIF

Happy Friday,
Expectation is a word built on a false premise; it's not your right to expect, yet most seem to think that they are owed something, to demand that all things will go your way will lead you to much grief and hardship. Investments of your time and energy is a part of your estate, from the time that you are born its the body that you are locked into, it's your rightful temple, you hold the key and title, loan approval isn't necessary. Giving your body the right tools gets you the proper nutrients, water allows the seeds into fruition, the maintenance adds to the all around appearance, and if treated properly most times you're greeted with longevity.

When you ask of things, it's only right that you take into account why the request was presented, if you have selfish intent, do you really think that outcome will be fruitful? When you put people on pedestals, you're basically dismissing that person from being human, and error is a part of life. You're comeuppance will be judged on how freely you gave of yourself; it won't be based on monetary. The deed is being of service and when that service is cheapened by your expectation, faltering ensues, because now you feel as though someone has let you down, when the true matter is that you've set yourself up for an falsehood that you never really believed in from the start, it's something your mental couldn't wrap itself around to formulate a worthy explanation for what you were seeking.

True to form life gives its share of disappointments, but the rewards are much greater when you get to the point of acceptance you're free from the foggy state that had you trapped and spiraling out of control. To say that you forgive someone is acknowledging your understanding, that the expectation was your creation not theirs. Having come to the realization that perfection is a tall order that few ever achieve, in the interim of figuring it all out, if you look life in the eyes, it's a great place to honor the creator with a conversation piece.

  6. Expectation is always going to be there, I think if we approach the let down with less disappointment that's the lesson that is learned. Thanks for the conversation.
