Expecting your loved ones to buy you something that you really want as a gift.
Expecting your friends knowing whats on your mind or know your feelings on any given moments
Expecting to get promoted.
Expecting to be on time.
Expecting your trip would be as smooth as you planned it to be.
Expecting your day to be perfect.
Expecting....................this..that..so on..
Expectations is what is considered the most likely to happen. Is what we belief that is centered on the future, which may or may not be realistic. If something happens unexpectedly, is considered as surprises. While expectation is about the behavior or performance of another person or ourselves.
Having different custom, religions, & education background somehow determine our level of expectations towards a person or an event.
The higher the expectation we have, the more likely for us to be happy IF the outcomes meets our expectations and be dissapointed IF the result does not met our expectations.
What we have to realize is,
Nobody is perfect.
Life isn't fair.
Nobody knows what's on your mind, no one can read your mind.
Nobody know how do you feel, no one can sense your feeling.
Nobody know what do you expect them to do.
Nobody know how you expect them to behave.
And for that,
We have to learn on how to accept things or someone as they are.
Learn to accept their differences.
Learn to tolerate on the differences.
Let them know what is on your mind if you want them to know what is on your mind.
Let them know how do you feel so they know what to and not to do.
Tell them what offends you so they would apologize.
***Expecting your loved ones to buy you something that you really want as a gift
: Tell him/her in advanced what you would prefer him/her to give you so him/her could avoid wasting their effort & money on something you doesn't like. Avoid waste & of course avoid him/her to be offended by your reactions. By telling him/her it indicates that you are comfortable to talk freely with your partner. One of the key success in a relationship is being able to communicate comfortably with each other :) communicates for better understanding.
***Expecting your friends knowing whats on your mind or know your feelings on any given moments
: Tell them what do you feel so they know what is appropriate and what not. Real friends would understand & lend their ear if you want to share with them, or just be there quietly so you know they respect you & be there for you.
***Expecting to get promoted
: Instead of keep expecting to get noticed & promoted, why not start put all your effort & give your best in whatever you do without expecting anything in returned. If you are a good employee, they would notice you. If they not, maybe its not your time yet. It would be great if you could talk to your superior & let him/her know you would love to get promoted so they would start to evaluates you whether the promotions suits you or not. If you didn't get it now, maybe u'll get it next. Who knows!
***Expecting to be on time
:Why be on time when you can get there earlier even by couples of minutes? "Early bird catches the worm" :)
***Expecting your trip would be as smooth as you planned it to be & *Expecting your day to be perfect
: Always expect the unexpected :) instead of rigidly stick to your plan A, why not planned for the alternative in case the A doesn't work out, still have plan B, C or even D. It helps to reduce your stress especially during holiday trip :)
Live happy!
