Expectations

I once heard that expectations are premeditated disappointments. 

How true that is!  Why then is so difficult to remember?!

I find it most challenging in dating & relationships.  I often have a lot of expectations about how I think someone SHOULD be.  But how often does that work out?!

Basically never.

And I'm left disappointed.  When I can let go of expectations and just acceptsomeone and the situation as is I am able to find much more peace.

It's not always easy but I'm working on it.

Where do your expectations show up and how do they leave you feeling?  

When I feel mine creep up I take a deep breath, relax and remember nothing is under control :)
