Stop Having Such High Expectations

in #life6 years ago

We often value and have such high expectations of so many things.
Such as people, Or the things that we want to accomplish. Or simply our experiences.
Sometimes we overplay the small things to the point we do not have time for the more critical aspect of our lives.

Be Realistic

When we are realistic about our time and capabilities, we can quickly accomplish so much more!

Determine YOUR values

We often are so focused on the benefits of others we forget to look at our values.
We need to determine what is valuable to us.

What do you want MOST

Out of life? There is so much to experience, We want to try everything, And explore. But the reality is, We usually can only realistically do a few things in our short lives. Figure out a few things that you want the most and make those things a priority so you can live a happy life. It doesn't mean you can't try the other things, But don't expect it to become such a large part of your life. Having things as hobbies is okay.

The Problem With Expecting Too Much

We often get let down in the long run. When we could have gotten MOST of the things we wanted.
Sometimes it's better to have a smaller list of goals Or a smaller amount of expectations overall.

Sometimes we just have to face reality and dream as big as much as one can accomplish. Expectations lead to disappointments

That is one of the worst things, when people expect so much of you or your views are different and then it can cause problems. Being able to know what you want and can do, doing those things and being happy with the results, that is enough and you should expect to live a somewhat happy life. Can't expect just a happy life when you go through so many different phases of happy and sad.

Kaylin better be happy. hugs
Hehe :)

Yes, this is true. you have identified the problem accurately. Studies have shown that when a person does a particular job and makes every effort to increase his experience in this work in accordance with his abilities, his success will be much better than doing a lot of work

@kaylinart Thank You for keeping me in the Moment tonight. I have been spreading myself thin lately and losing Focus. This post just brought my expectations back into balance..............

*Very good you write
You give motivation as well as reality that must be faced. Expectations are necessary but not excessive and hopeful. Because this will be bad for personal and self character.
Thank you, you have provided a very useful motivation *.

Thanks @kaylinart
I hope you are always healthy and successful in your work.
We are waiting for your next motivation.

Hi @Kaylinart , In the Muslim religion, it is also advisable when making wishes; we must be sure that the wish is fulfilled because God responds to every person. It is true that the generous, good pious people, etc., are closer to GOD, and that their requests are quick and sure to be answered. the law of attraction goes hand in hand with the law of the Moslem religion, but the great common problem is that the human being goes in parallel with these laws: conviction and doubt unconsciously prevent the realization of things.

Thank you @Kaylinart for helping the community out with your articles.xUPGcEmn9v8AaNLeXC.gif

One of my favorite "philosophical" topics @kaylinart!

I always like to distinguish between expectations and hopes. I believe when we have too many (and too high) expectations we basically set ourselves up for disappointment. On the other hand, I always hope for a really successful outcome. But that "feels" different to me... it's more like "I HOPE we make $1000 at the Art Fair-- wouldn't that be awesome?" but once I have sent that out there — with all sincerity — I am no longer attached. And my mind feels freer and more flexible... and able to accept whatever result we do end up with.

I’ve seen unrealistic expectations kill relationships. Not good from a business or personal standpoint.

I like this centence: Having things as hobbies is okay. I think its great 👌👍
