Expectation- A Dangerous Word!
EXPECTATION - A DANGEROUS WORD!
I've come across this word several times, i'm
expecting good results this time , "we have a lot of
expectations from you" ..mom says,"this was not
expected from you" , my teacher said to me ....i've
come across this word so many times and each time i
find it has differnt meaning!
According to me we have two kinds of expectations ..
one tat we have from ourselves and those which
others have from us!
Now what others expect from us can be endless , if i
start on that one i might just end up getting confused
as to what i am supposed to do and what not to ... coz
the expectation from me might not be the same what i
want from my own life .. and that i will realize only
when i understand myself....i wonder when i will be
able to understand myself completely , every time i
try to come to one convincing result about myself i am
faced with a hundred contradictions!
Now the point comes as to what i really expect from
myself ...do i expect my self to reach heights , no ..i'm
not that ambitious .Do i want to be the best .. no , i
dont believe in best or perfect ..i just want to feel
satisfied .
I expect myself to be independant , self dependant
may it be emotionally or in practical matters.
However , is the process of expecting from oneself
and meeting those expectations entirely self
dependant.I dont think so ...Your subconsious mind
may be root cause of certain expectations you have
from the environment you are in .. which you might
never realize! The simple human being loves to be
taken care of ... loves too be nurtured all his life .. but a
child does grow ino a man ,if not ,society marks him
as retarded!
Expectations from youself and meeting those
expectations ...makes you stronger each day! On the
other hand , expectations from your environment
makes you more and more dependant on them .Every
time you depend on someone to solve your problem
you are taking away an opportunity from your mind to
be creative , the chance to have made your self
tougher , you have diminshed your ability to reason ,
to rationalize, you have lost an ounce of courage from
you soul!
Expectations from yourself help you realize your
weaknesses and you strengths...how on earth will you
understand yourself if you dont spend time with
youself ,expecting from yourself enables to acheive
the a direct connection between what you want , how
you will get it , how much can you risk in order to get
it!
" It all in the mind" as someone rightly put it! Great
achievements are the results of great expectations
one has from himself!
I am not perfect and neither do i intend to be ..for me
realising my own personality, to come up with a best
possible solution which is my very own , is the
happiest way to live life!
It also simplifies life to a great extent...once
complicated issues suddenly seem tiny! All i need to
do is to rack my brain cells! You become responsible
for evrything that happens in your life .. and that has
great advantages ...your life is now in your control !
You have the power to change your mood...cause you
have something which is waiting to be
accomplished ...its another expectation !
