High achievement always takes place in the framework of high expectations. One targets certain goals, and walks to meet the expectations. It sounds smart when you design the expectation of yours, and move accordingly, but in the real practical world, expectation is the main reason behind the dissatisfaction.
As said, the ‘best things in life are unexpected because there were no expectations’. You expect certain things to take place or happen, and if does not, it hurts and you grow dejected. Let me clarify, aim and expectation are two different aspects. Designing something for the future zeroes in on aim, and hoping something to happen is expectation. You are free to develop an aim, because it motivates you to work hard at present. But, when you expect something, it is different. The aim to be doctor, and the expectation of being a doctor are two different entities in two different directions.
Why to expect anything to happen when you are not sure of it? Expecting to receive a laptop from your uncle and when you receivec cell phone, it definitely hurts. Only if you had no expectation, the cell phone would have made you happy. When things happen not as per your expectation, it becomes a miracle. For those who don’t expect, miracles take place every now and then, and for those who expect thousands of miracles don’t count. You don’t expect the price of cell phones to go down, and when it goes down, you can call it a miracle for sure.There is no hard and fast rule that you must expect something in reality. Simply clarify your vision, and move ahead; those unexpected stuffs will gift you ample happiness.
Why to expect promotion at your job place? Work hard with honesty, if the company is honest they will definitely hand you your promotion. Expecting to get distinction, and if you don’t get it, it hurts. If you have not expected it, everything could be normal.
Expecting is like hoping, so minimize the level of your hope. Death after all is the common expectation after birth, but we never work as per the expectation, therefore we are in this stage. Life would certainly not turn out to be so exciting if we keep in mind the expectation of death. It is understandable that it is a tough task to live without expecting in real life, but let’s try to commit that we will minimize the level of expectations.
