Release Your Expectations
You always assisted a colleague in finishing his project on time, but the one time you asked him for a favour, he refused. You reached home tired and expected your young child to behave well, but he threw tantrums the entire evening. Are these situations familiar or have you been in similar situations and wondered Why canโt people meet simple expectations? Why canโt they be my way?

So we cannot always act in the same way as others, irrespective of our authority, role, or responsibility. It also doesnโt matter how simple and right our expectation is. Release expectations from everyone โ family, friends, colleagues, societyโฆ. Let us be our way, accepting everyone as they are.

Let us drop from the belief expectations are normal and experiment with acceptance is normal. It helps us remain emotionally stable in every situation and have harmonious relationships.
โคNo two individuals can think, speak, or behave identically. Yet we routinely wonder โ How can he be like this? or Why did she say that? The load of such futile thoughts and expectations blocks our energy of love and peace. Let us remember that our state of mind has no connection with anyone or anything outside of us. Sit back and program your thoughts and feelings about other people.
โคDo not succumb, do not hit back, do not expect, do not blame, do not complain. You take charge of your inner state and choose your response. You come out of impulsive, auto-pilot reactions to peopleโs behaviors. Your acceptance that people are different, sustains your happiness and influences them positively.

"Become Light by Forgiving"
Even if there is a temporary feeling of negativity, if I am able to forget the mistakes of others and forgive them, I am able to be free from negative feelings. I am able to be light and free from the burdens of the past interactions with them. So I find myself successfully able to deal with others, whoever they may be.
