Letting Go of Expectations

Throughout our life it’s natural for us all to have certain expectations about situations in our life, but problems can sometimes arise when we form certain attachments and form a picture of how we want our outcomes to look like. Usually our experiences and outcome are very different than what our expectations have created in our mind because of the expectations we created in the forefront of our minds eye.

Usually we hold expectations as a compass 🧭 that points the way but is it wise to view this from a viewpoint that dictates every step in our journey? It’s healthy to have an idea of where we are headed but if we can learn not to form rigid expectations of what our experience will be on this path, we will experience more joy and happiness along the way.We want to meet whatever we encounter with openness and not compare it to what we expected to find. As the English poet Alexander Pope once said: “blessed is he who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed.” So let your compass point the way. Try letting go of your expectations and open up to what you might discover. Leave room for the new, the unknown, the surprising, the unforeseeable🕉♥️🏻
