5 Thoughts on how to overcome Expectations | Going Beyond Expectations

What are Expectations?

Expectations just means “I’ll be happy, if you do this”… Hence otherwise, I’m unhappy & you’re the cause of my pain!

Hence while it might seem normal to expect, it actually introduces a dependency within, hence doesn’t allow us to remain happy always!

We can overcome expectations, by remembering thoughts like:

When we can’t meet up to others’ expectations always, how can they?
We expect based on our background & sanskars, which may not necessarily always be easy & comfortable for them!
Indeed sometimes we can expect things from others, which might be completely beyond their imagination!
Relations doesn’t mean give & take, it means to only give & give (love, respect, trust, etc)… And the more we give, the more their experience keeps increasing within us, & we remain very full!
Expectations directly lead to hurt… Hence, becoming free from expectations automatically keeps us free from hurt!… And there’s no limit to expectations!

Hence, let’s shift from expectations to acceptance, to experience a life of peace & happiness always!
