DILEMMA ABOUT EXPECTATION

Expect-tation meaning by Collin's dictionary is a strong belief that something will happen or be the case.To have strong belief is good. But to crave for the future is bad. Confused!!! To have faith in your destiny is a good thing as life is a series of leaps of faith. Faith is the antidote of fear. But as and when you start expecting things, faith becomes a disease as it 'll give rise to fear.

So the point here I would like to make is Have faith in yourself but never expect anything out of it. Keep doing your work sincerely. Perform the task given to you by the Uni-verse. That is in your hands but time is not in your hands.

Destiny is not in your hands. You are the creation and Creator is looking after the time and destiny. Let him perform his tasks. You should concentrate on your activities.

Now another discussion about expectation is in terms of relationships. Should we expect from our partners, parents, friends and all our near and dear ones. My answer is you should not. You must be wondering, how come we should not expect from the close people. Then what is the use of being close to them? This question itself contains the answer- USE. When we love we cant think of using the other person.

If a person is loving, caring, understanding, supportive to you. It doesn't mean you start expecting things from him. He loves you selflessly. And for me expectation is all about selfishness.

The root cause of misunderstanding, clashes between loved ones is EXPECTATIONS. The day you'll stop expecting from your partner and start loving him or her the way he/she is, you'll enter the heaven.

So should we expect or not? Yes you should expect but just from yourself. Expect things out of you. That will give spirit to move on, to walk forward with grace, to step into the unknown. But the key here is as excess of everything is bad. Dont expect too much. And how will you know you are crossing the limits. Simple, every one knows one's potential. So expect in proportion of your potential. If you want to expect more, increase your potential.

So keep going, keep moving, keep working towards your goals. Your task is moving.
