Most of us always find ourselves in the wrong place with the wrong people because we live with too many expectations.
We set standards for ourselves and expect people to pass the bar which sometimes never happens.Living with the expectations that everyone will fulfill their promise to you is going to hurt you in the long run, here's how you can learn to live without expectations.
First and most important, you need to change your mindset about life and how other people live.In this life, they say, the only person who can make you happy is you and you alone.Change your mentality about how other people are and what you expect from them.You also have to know that anyone can disappoint you at any time.
You have to be you at all times.Be still and learn to live a life that satisfies you.One thing about expectations is that we assume the other person expects the same from us so we end up going out of our way to please them, we even cross the limits that we set for ourselves.We do all this thinking they would do the same but they end up disappointing.
Forget about the picture-perfect life.The fairy tales and the movies are a different reality from the life we live so expecting the same to happen to us is a waste of time.Learn to live with expectations from yourself, and you will never be disappointed.
