Expectations

What are your expectations for this holiday season? For that matter what are your expectations for your life? What are you expectations for today?

Having expectations is believing that something is going to happen or believing that something should be a certain way. Expectations are also the state of looking forward to or waiting for something.

Often when we are looking forward to something such as a vacation or a holiday we believe it is going to go smoothly and just the way we planned.

How often to do you have expectations of how something is going to go?

How often do you get so focused on what should happen and how it should happen?

Often it is our expectations of the holidays or even just our day that create our stress and often our disappointment when things don’t go the way we planned.

Expectations can help us achieve goals but they can also make us miss out in enjoying an experience.

When it comes to travel and holidays are expectations often cause us to be disappointed in the way things unfold. It is only normal for there to be bumps in travel, whether it is weather or delays of some kind.

It is find to look forward to a your day, your vacation, holidays and anything that get you excited about life, we just have to have some wiggle room in those expectations and be flexible in how things actually do happen. People don’t always respond the way we think they will. Things happen in life, bumps in the road, twists and turns, that you couldn’t expect. Expecting life to always turn out the way you want isn’t guaranteed because life will not always turn out the way you want it to.

Sometimes things exceed our expectations but sometimes not. True is nothing is likely to ever turn out exactly liked we planned or expected it too. 

Be excited about your day, your life, your vacations and the upcoming holidays. But let go of expectations of how things should be and turn out. Find something to be grateful about, even when things do not turn out the way you hoped, and you will experience serenity rather than disappointment or resentment.

Get Excited,

Be Happy and Have Fun
