Coming to realize that something you had hoped for did not equal your expectations ends up making you feel disappointed. And just like something doesn’t meet your expectations, when something doesn’t happen when you want it to happen, then it only leads to it feeling like a failure or something not being the way it should. So why do we constantly set up expectations, due dates, or plans? I understand that for some things it is good to have an idea of what it is that we want and an approximation of when we want it to happen, but why do we put so much pressure on it? As they say, and as redundant as it may sound by now, but if it is meant to happen, then it will happen; if not, then it will not. There are just some things you do not have control over, which is okay. It is still hard for me to accept that, but it is a work in progress. Sometimes, things don’t go as you so meticulously had planned, nor does it live up to your expectations, but by the end of the day, you accept it for what it is. The things we can control, however, are our feelings, how we react to things, allowing things to be as they are and embracing them.
I think we come into conflict with this whole concept when we assume that when people say that we are the creators of our reality, we have to set goals and timelines to follow, and if we follow them, then we will be able to have our dream reality. But I think the way we should see that ought to be by already living in our reality, and acting as though it is our dream. Maybe it is a manipulation for ourselves. But I think sometimes it is easier to manipulate others into thinking we have all that we want, rather than accepting what we have and appreciating it for what it is. We can’t go on with life constantly comparing or hoping to have what others have if our life is not the same as someone else’s. And I think the moment we realize that is the moment we can embrace our life for what it truly is and finally feel as though we are living the dream reality we had dreamed of before. So, I invite you to view your life from a different perspective and see if your life is where you want it to be. See if you are living your dream or what you had dreamt of the year before or if it isn’t yet, how can you switch it up? What can you do to live the life of your dreams? Is it the materialistic aspect of your life affecting your appreciation of life or is it your emotions and what you have gone through? Think about it, there is no harm in that…
