Expectations vs. Real Life



It is interesting how one can make a list of sorts for what they want to work for in life. This list may include anything and everything whether it is regarding; family, boyfriends, body parts, religion, class, hobbies, friends, babies, homes, vehicles, traditions, and everything in-between.

Often the expectations that are created when that "list" was thought out, never get met. This may lead one to become frustrated and upset, but what is not realized when the list is made, is that people change, choices make huge differences in outcomes, and no-one can control other's actions. Expectations are not going to be met, most of the time, unless one passes up amazing opportunities that will come on the way to meeting those said expectations.

Occasionally said expectations may be met, but not acknowledged. It is easy to get caught up in the search for perfection, that one may not actually see an expectation being met, and it will disappear after not being noticed for a while.

So, one's search for perfection and this alleged "list" of expectations, may not be the best way of looking at life and striving for a checklist. One day, that special thing may come into one's life, that would not have been noticed, because it wasn't on the specific checklist of expectations. It might be a good idea to throw away that checklist, and live life as it comes. Yes it is good for one to strive for big things, but not specific things, or happiness will never be fully achieved. We are all striving for Happiness.

Thank you for reading.
