WISE WORDS IV

Why do our relationships turn sour?
Why are we disappointed by life?
Why we don't succeed to realize the happiness we expect?
One answer to all these questions: because of unrealistic expectations. Expectations by their nature are a never - ending cycle. To expect means to look at and speculate on beyond what you have in the present. It is avarice that drives you on towards impossible horizons and your expectations become a wall between you and reality. You fail to see the real person, or the real situation. This is even if your expectations are fulfilled, you remain unfulfilled. And if your expectations are not fulfilled you feel frustrated.
Look deep into the nature and structure of your expectations. Just by looking consciously they become blurry and eventually dissolve.
Once you drop your expectations you have learned to live. Then whatever happens fulfills you.
You never feel frustrated because in the first place you never expected. Frustration is a shadow of expectation. With expectation dropped, frustration drops in its own accord. Once expectations are not there you are free to move into and accept the unknown with deep gratitude. Whatever the situation you always feel at home.
When everything happens unexpectedly, everything becomes new. It brings freshness to your live, a fresh breeze is blowing and it does not allow dust to gather on you.
Life is pregnant with the unknown.
Drop the past and live each moment.
