own desires, perceptions, and feelings. While you’re thinking one thing,
they’re more than likely thinking something completely different. That thing
that’s got you feeling pissed may not have even registered on their radar.
They could be completely oblivious to what’s going on with you.
Instead of silently expecting something and feeling slighted when it doesn’t
happen, let go of that expectation. If there’s something you want, how about
asking for it with no expectation? And when you do something positive or
generous, do it because you genuinely want to rather than loading in the
added weight of what you expect in return.
That game of tit for tat only hurts you both in the long run.
If it’s something serious that consistently challenges the relationship,
confront the other party about it. Don’t expect them to realize how you feel
or, by the same token, expect them to be able to change how you feel. They
can’t. Only you can do that.
People are always going to lie, steal, cheat, and everything else one can
imagine. It’s just not connected to reality to live in the expectation that they
somehow won’t and then throw a hissy fit when they do it anyway.
Remember, in those cases, you always end up worse off than they do! Much
worse!
You end up sticking yourself with resentment, regret, anger or frustration.
Remember, they’re not doing that to you, you’re doing that part to yourself!
You really can accept things for what they are. It doesn’t mean you condone
them or that you won’t decisively change them, this is about becoming
masterful with your mind and your emotional state. It’s about quieting the
mind and allowing yourself to act with power in the situations of your life
rather than succumbing to your internal and external upsets.
EXPECT NOTHING, ACCEPT EVERYTHING
None of this means you can’t plan, or that I’m telling you to walk through
life aimlessly without direction
or goals.
