xpectation and Acceptance. 2 Major points of failure of the human experience

Some day ago, in an article called “Experience it like a child” (which is also the most up-voted of my articles so go and read it!!), I touched slightly on this subject:

EXPECTATIONS.

I noticed this trough my whole life. This touches every one of us and in every point of our life.
No matter if you are a kid, an adult, a dog, this is universally valid in its concept and it is valid also in every sphere of our life…be it in family atmosphere, place of work, with friends etc…

When it happens we use to call it: STRESS…DEPRESSION.

But I think we can put better this words on focus giving them a precise content and context which are in two words:

FAILURE IN THE EXPECTATION LEVEL or FAILURE IN THE ACCEPTANCE OF THE EVENT.

How many times each day you say this out loud or in your mind :”I’ve given so much but i did not receive anything back”…or “what i was expecting to.” “I would like to give so much to that person but there’s no way to do it (and i can not accept it)” or “I can’t accept this person doesn’t appreciate my efforts”….these are all failures in expectation levels and acceptance levels and the worst part is that when you go that way you build up over and over on that line of thought, until it reaaaaaaaly becomes a stress source or even worst, if our attention and thoughts persist to focus on that direction, depression.

What i do about it, when it knocks at my door, is to analyze that situation very deeply, ceasing to blame that person, that situation or even me myself and just looking at the facts for what they are. In many many…many cases I find out, I didn’t even had the real need for that case to happen. So many times I realize I had the full responsibility of the situation I am stuck in, just from the perspective I'm observing the event, to begin with.

Strangest things of all…ALL the Masters who walked on this Earth were in line on this particular thing: LOVE UNCONDITIONALLY which in other terms means: “Do what you like or love to do without EXPECTATIONS attached “. In the end, i do not think one should do things without expecting anything to be seen as a good person or to act as the good Samaritan….the point is for real that by doing without expectations means that you are living an healthy life….high quality...i mean: HAPPY.

So…less expectations and less stuff to accept, means more good and positive thoughts.

Next time i assure you a very good exercise to throw away the trash from your mind and fill those empty space with 😁❤🤙☀️.

I myself used in the past to clean up the trash i had in the brain...you will enjoy that!
