Avoid High Expectations to Live the Life
Expectation is a very common word for all of us. As a human being, we expect certain things from life or others. But this expectation can make us a slave. You may think that expectation is normal and everyone have their expectation, which is correct. But don’t you think that this expectation may bring anxiety, sadness, and depression. Sounds weird right? Look, since childhood, we have different expectations from life. We work hard or give all the effort to fulfill our expectations but many times we get nothing but zero. This will rob all our happiness and push us in acute depression. Most of us have a dream since childhood and expectation are also there in the dream. But with the time our dream has converted to a 9 to 5 job and we got stuck in your responsibilities.
But in this clumsy life, our expectation is like oxygen. But high expectations should be bad for your mental health. It would be a very easy life if we all could live in our great expectations. This is next to impossible. To achieve something you want, you will definitely face lots of challenges and difficulties which sometimes cannot fulfill your expectations. You have to accept all these to reach to fulfill your dream. If you have great expectation then that would be hurt by the challenges and brought fear, depression, and anxiety. Also, failure is the most important part of our life. You cannot skip failure if you want to be successful. Always remember you don’t get into depression for failure you always be depressed or sad due to your high expectations which can mislead you. Failure also makes you experienced and build the pillar of your success too. Even repetitive failure maybe your best groomer. But in all of that only expectation can be your worst enemy. We need a goal to keep us motivated. But At the same time stop expecting anything from life. That way regardless of the outcome, you don’t become disappointed.
It is completely fine if you don’t meet your expectation. Capitalism shoves sown our throats to strive more, and we obediently follow, only to meet a brick wall and realize how frustrated we are for not being everything the system promise could be. Not for yourself, many times we expect from human beings or from relations we made. We expect from relations or the people in our surroundings like our parents, loved once, family friends, etc. But most of the time, they cannot reach our desired level or cannot fulfill our expectations. Then this leads to a toxic relationship or becomes the reason for your tension, depression, anxiety, etc. All over high expectations can spoil a normal and great system. High expectations will increase day by day and it never gives you satisfaction and happiness. High expectations can just an endless trap that takes away everything from you but never gives you anything in return. In this situation, depression, anxiety, negativity become our best friend. We need to fight with the situation with positivity. Don’t get stuck in your high expectation otherwise, you don’t enjoy the journey of life. High expectations can make you greedy. Always motivate yourself and stay positive. Dream or the goal of life is important to make us alive. The expectation is a part of our life. But don’t lead your expectations to overruled your feelings. You just need to be happy. Just be happy with all you have. Enjoy the wealth you get from life; enjoy the lesson you get from life. Don’t get disappointed if you don’t reach your dream. In this age of digitization, we forget to live the life of our own. We may have a thousand friends on social media platforms but don’t have one real friend in real life. We all want to achieve our dream need to live lavishly but none of us want to live peacefully. For us now, social media showoff is more important than real-life happiness. Remember, high expectations can never give you happiness. Living life is important, enjoying this journey is important. Just stop expecting from anyone or even from yourself. Just enjoy the journey and be experienced. Life will give you lots of surprises just enjoy those. Stay safe, be happy, and love yourself.
