How lot of expectations can leave us alone in life?

Expectation means to mold something or work into the mold of your desire, to want to see as you like and desire. Each of us has come into the world with a different nature and temperament. One thing that is very much liked by one person, the other person is disliking it in his own mood.

This diversity and variety of nature is actually the beauty of the universe and there is good in acknowledging it. When we want to see and achieve everything we want, we expect everyone around us to support us in this endeavor, without realizing that it doesn't matter to other people. So why would they spend time and energy with us on an unimportant task.

Remember, no one in this world lives to meet our expectations. Expecting expectations from others means that you are giving others control over your emotions so that they can change your emotions as they wish. It is also important to remember that expectation is part of human nature. We have good expectations from our family, friends and close relatives and they also set some expectations for us in return.

The problem arises when we begin to have unrealistic expectations of others. According to psychologists, unrealistic expectations are when a person begins to consider himself very important and wants others to give him priority in every matter.

When you begin to prioritize me and me in every matter, you begin the journey towards unrealistic expectations, which ultimately leads to frustration. The more unrealistic your expectations, the more difficult your life will become, because every expectation creates anxiety and eventually turns your life's journey into despair.

Once you fall into the blind alley of despair, you will sink deeper and deeper into the mire of negative mindset and poisonous thoughts and will not be able to find a way out easily. Conclude that others are not always wrong, they are just different from our expectations.

According to research from an American university, if we adopt this approach in our daily life, we can free ourselves not only from the burden of unreasonable expectations, but also from the people around us and our relationships.

If you expect your family and friends to be willing to do anything for you, lower your level of understanding. Your family and friends also have their own preferences. If you ever need them, don't expect them to leave you and run away. There are some fields and some occasions in life where you have to stand alone, not necessarily all the time. Someone is there to hold hands. If someone is present, give thanks and appreciate it and if there is no one to support, do not complain, but try to learn from this situation and trust yourself.

The world is made up of colorful people and everyone is different. Expecting likes from everyone can make you feel inferior. Explain to yourself that just as you dislike some people because of certain habits, so other people have the right to dislike you. Trying to please others and be loved by everyone is a battle in itself, which can ruin your personality, so focus on making yourself a better person, not getting a certificate of liking others.

Nothing in life has meaning unless you give it meaning. It is up to you to declare any thing or action as negative, positive, right or wrong. Your mind is prepared to act on what you decide to do. Just as every human being is different from the other, so are the relationships of each. Do not compare your relationships with others and do not expect the same from others. Expectations from others are those who do not believe in themselves and are always waiting for outside help and support. Instead of expecting support from others, go ahead and support yourself.

Stop expecting people to accept things based on where and when. Not only will this calm your heart and mind, but it will also have a positive effect on your physical health because the journey of unreasonable and pointless expectations tires you out, while the process of acceptance can help you become a positive and better person.
