False Expectations

A friend once told me that if you never expected anything from anyone, you can never get hurt.

Thinking about it, it may seem that person may be right to a certain level. Many of us do the mistake of giving others high expectations. We put most of our hopes on one person expecting that someone else will allow us to attain a goal. Don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with expecting a little something from somebody, lets say that person is your friend, a close family member, your significant other or any person that plays a major part in your life.

The problem resides in putting too much expectations on that person's behalf. Remember, as adults, we are accountable for ourselves therefore do not always expect too much from others. Sometimes, people have their own cross to bare, their own battles to fight.

Whether you are expecting somebody to be there for you or somebody to just do something for you, do not do the mistake of putting all your eggs in one basket. Unless you are certain that the hand holding that basket is super strong and solid, be careful. You may end up with a basket on the floor, cracked eggs, some unecessary bruises and the bitter taste of false hope...

Stay wise,
