Expectations

“Expectations are the baggage that pulls someone away from happiness”

Yes, it’s true; Expectations are considered to be an inevitable element of one’s life. Expectations are just as common as inhaling air to breathe. A person’s life always starts with a note of expectation. From the day a mother conceives a baby, parents start to expect whether the baby will be a boy or girl. When the baby starts to grow, the parent’s expectations also grows along with the child. As each year passes by, both child and parents' expectation level will be reaching its peak. For a human being, the expectations can be in any form just like the love, care, support, trust from someone or it can be in their career, financial situations, etc. An expectation can lead to a disappointing situation when a person couldn’t get a hold on their life or when that person didn’t get anything in return as expected. The most sarcastic fact is that the “one who hurt you is your own expectations”, but we all will start blaming on others. How can it be someone’s fault when they don’t know what you expected? So we can’t stop expecting all of sudden because we are human beings, but we can change the method of how to deal with it by understanding and learning the facts...

“The Sun always rises in the East and sets in the West “- It’s a natural phenomenon created by God. It happens every day in the same way without any mutations. One can’t expect to rise the Sun in the West. By understanding this fact we can change our thoughts by “Expectations can kill one’s enthusiasm to live and also that if you can learn how to accept things to happen in its natural flow rather than expectations, at that point you can find harmony in life”.

The most beautiful thing about no expectations is that even though if our life is like riding a rollercoaster, sometimes it can take you to the most wonderful sceneries. Just like when you least expect a thing, and if you come across the thing coincidently, then it will bring a sense of surprise. Surprises always make everyone excited. And excitement always paves the path to happiness. So the key to living a peaceful life is to let live as it is without any form of expectation, all the happiness finds a path to reach us.
