THE ABILITY TO THINK, PROSPER, DESIREOUS TO HAVE A BETTER TOMORROW. Happiness remains the goal of every individual whether he or she is the president of the country or a matinee idol or a faceless commuter on the subway.The expectation is the basic aspects of life .It gives us the strength to work harder and lead a healthy life.
It is a belief/feeling of what would happen in future /what should happen in future. Expectation can be high or low as per the situation. It can be negative or positive. We are born with an aim/purpose in life, be it small or large. We all expect to be happy but towards the end, we often land being hurtful and sad.The reason behind this can be many.
Having the wrong expectation
Often ignoring the reality and inability to face hardship
Impatience because everybeautiful thing requirestime to grow
Unaware of the harsh reality of the universe.
Comparing our faith with others
Dissatisfaction
Jealousy (to some extent it proves useful because it motivates to work harder and perform betterbut an excess of everything proves harmful)
Being materialistic (more focused on making money forgetting the fact that money is not everything though ,in today's world it's of most importance)
Being happy is something that everyone should aspire for, happiness is reality minus expectation. Happiness lies in fact of Accepting the faith and performing duty sincerely and waiting for the best of results.
We often get disheartened if we do not get things as per our choice but staying strong and confident has different beauty within it.
Pessimists > optimists > realist
There is joy in doing something with high expectations but we realize that high expectation often hurt. Feelings are like a wave which cannot be stopped from coming but it depends upon us to decide which one to surf. One can achieve happiness only by working for it. Road to happiness is littered with many pot-holes and pit-falls and passes from time to time. Expecting the harsh reality and keeping minimum positive expectation,continuous hard work is the solution to lead a happy life.
HAPPINESS = REALITY — EXPECTATIONS*(YOURS + OTHERS’)
