Great expectations!

We all have expectations in life! From life! From our parents, from our children, from our siblings, from our friends, from our spouses and from all other relationships.

I too used to have expectations from each of them. But soon I've realised it, in most instances, the hard way.... that great expectations can lead to greater disappointments. Sometimes those you least expect to are the ones who do things or behave in a way you would least expected even in your wildest dreams. Life's taught me to expect the unexpected. It has taught me to be prepared for the worse things to happen. It's not that I'm turning out to be a pessimist, rather I'm moulding myself to be practical and to accept life as it comes. It has taught to me to stop having unrealistic goals and start having practical goals.

When expectations don't turn into reality, dreams are shattered, I feel upset....terribly upset. It affects me a lot, my work and my life. That's when I've started to expect the least and never to surrender life and its decisions to something that doesn't exist. Else once that unrealistic base is gone..so also your life that you kept around it sinks.

So many times I've learnt not to expect and yet again I go back travelling on the same road of expectations, only to be heartbroken again. Is it in human nature to keep going the same track despite getting hurt?? Not found any answer to that yet!
