I read this a few days ago and felt it was absolutely correct and great advice. I have gotten pretty good at this and it goes along with my practice of living in the NOW.
EXPECTATIONS — They get us in emotional trouble when we try to have people, and sometimes even things, conform to an exact expectation of what we want.
- People
- Trees
- The color of your neighbors house that you think clashes with yours
- And even as trivial as the kind of smartphone your friend uses that cannot get your emojis when you send them
Hummmm …
I also find it interesting that I am the only reply after 4 days since this was first posted. If people could learn this “trick” their life would be better in many respects.
