Have Expectation but only from yourself
I know we have expectations from everyone around
us, people whom we love, our parents, children, our companies, friends and even
colleagues. And every time our expectations are not met we say that the other
person is wrong in doing so, or we say that people are unfair or life is unfair
to us. Then we start the blaming game and get into self pity mode. It’s very
easy to blame others and go into powerlessness state. But the actual courage is
when we take our own responsibility of keeping our thoughts and emotions in
check. And that happens only when we accept the situation the way it is. This
will then take us into empowered state.
Empowerment is that state in which you feel the
freedom, the contentment and joy of choosing positive thoughts and respond to
any situation in positive manner. Then your ability to react to any situation
will be decreased and you will start responding with understanding and not just
out of auto mode state. You will understand that the only control you have, is
on yourself. You need not control anyone else but just your own thoughts. And
you can choose your state of mind by feeling and believing in positive
thoughts. You will understand that the external factors can hurt you only when
you give away your power and you allow the external factors to affect you.
Unless and until you choose not to, you will remain in that state.
Keeping expectation from others is easy but
setting expectations for yourself and keeping it will be a task. You will
realize that you will not be able to change your negative thought pattern very
easily. But the success lies in perseverance. So with continuous effort you
will be able to achieve the desired result.
Converting your state of helplessness to the state
of empowerment can be achieved through the following steps
1.

the expectation as to how others should behave or how the situation should be
like

the situation as it is
3.

7.
Know
that Law of attraction works for the whole universe and have this faith that it
will work for you also
8.

all your doubts and fears before stating your intentions
9.
Feel
the freedom, joy and compassion inside your heart
10. Give your positive
intentions to the universe; state what you want
11. Finally let Universe
handle your request as to how it will be fulfilled
So
keep this goal in life i.e. to have expectations only from yourself and
everytime you meet it, increase it to the next level. You will find yourself
becoming better and better in every manner everyday. Happy Experiencing the
Expectations!!
