Life is full of unexpected experiences. Sometimes reality and our expectations are completely different. Expectations are beautiful, they give purpose and joy, they give hope, but you have to understand that life is not in your control. Some expectations are wonderful, and some are unhelpful. Below is a list of expectations that should change. Adjust certain expectations of life, you will welcome new experiences and new ideas, and even get an unprecedented sense of accomplishment.
Stop expecting perfection from others
If you always expect perfection from others, you will always be disappointed because people will never live up to your expectations. It's okay to have high expectations, but remember: even if they don't, they try. So please be considerate and don't be perfect. Stop expecting people to suck. Conversely, if you think people are going to fail, you're killing their chances of success. You should encourage them, help them, guide them. That way they can grow and overcome difficulties.
Stop expecting others to pay for you.
You should be responsible for your financial situation and don't expect others to invite you out, pay for your food or dinner. Take care of your purse strings, set a budget and stick to it. Just because all your friends are out for dinner doesn't mean you have to tag along. There's a difference between need and desire: if you want something, save it for yourself and don't expect relatives to buy it for you.
Stop worrying about everything going wrong
No matter how unlucky you think you are right now, don't imagine countless bad luck because of it. Learn to stay positive. If you think good, you will find good; and vice versa. If you think everything is not going to turn out the way you want it to, it will.
Stop expecting everything to be fair
Life is not always fair. Sometimes you work hard without recognition or reward, and that's the way it is. So be open-minded: Give everything, but expect nothing in return.
Stop expecting things to be easy.
If you always pick the easy stuff, you'll never make it big. Life will test you unexpectedly, so you must challenge difficulties and stay strong. Anything worth having in the world requires effort, diligence and discipline. If you are willing to be mediocre, you will become mediocre.
Stop expecting something for nothing
You will never achieve what you desire if you desire it without effort. Want to lose weight? Start eating healthy and exercising regularly. You'll never be slim and beautiful if you keep eating like that! If there is something you want, go for it!
Stop expecting people to change.
People are attached to habits, like everything fixed, comfortable and stable. Change works, but it takes time. If you expect others to change, start by changing yourself. Your power lies in changing yourself, not anyone else; once you realize that, life becomes much more comfortable. Stop expecting people to give up everything for you. You're not the only unfortunate person in the world. When encountering difficulties, you can certainly seek comfort from relatives and friends, but please do not ask for excessive. Learn to take good care of yourself and be able to be independent is healthy. You can certainly help yourself, and don't let your relatives and friends miss out on important things in their own lives by helping you.
Expectations are about finding balance in life. You have to know when you want too much and when you can expect more. Of course, this is not easy, but we have to put aside unrealistic expectations and strive to live a healthy and happy life, right?
