Care to elaborate? I hate to admit that some of my expectations may have been way out of line with reality resulting in self-inflicted anguish, disappointment and unneeded grief: pitching them and taking a more zen approach has freed up a lot of brain space that can be used for more constructive efforts… Then again, my expectations towards other “things” has increased so I suppose it all balances out!
Well without getting to deep. I hold very high expectations of my children and friends and recently was bitterly disappointed because I am loyal for life. Time heals everything, right? ♥
I certainly hope so – it can be a harsh realization though that your expectations of others (even if justified) far exceed their own of themselves… such is life. Perhaps a little more selfishness spent on making ourselves content is in order!
I disagree. :)
