"EXPECTATIONS"
Start having the mindset of not to expect something and Stop living your life according to everyone's expectations. At times, living your life according to other's point of view results to disappointments.
When you start to live your life according to them, you do not actually live your own life but you live your life by trying to please their expectations towards you. You stop accepting what's real. The end of this is that we pleases no one because to live in other's expectations is like we are targeting a moving object.
My everyday life teaches me the importance of saying NO. We have to master the art of saying No because people will expect that we are okay with these expectations even in reality we are not. Remember that you might achieve their expectations but you are not happy with it. You'll ended up being frustrated and wishing to be like others.
It's indeed that the most difficult part of life is to live with everyone's expectations. Some might say, it's the best for us but then not everyone can easily adopt or it can't be feasible for many of us. What's really painful about it is that you'll ended up facing the consequences alone.
To live in reality is to stop living according to other's expectations. When you stop living in expectations and start removing it, it doesn't mean you are neglecting others opinion and advices. It means you are removing those unnecessary pressure and giving yourself the opportunity to be in peace, to be calm and relax. Because the only time we can give our best shot is when we are in peace.
