Expectation kills!


We humans' have this common tendency that we think a lot about almost everything or for that matter about nothing!We expect a lot from others. Parents expects from their children; teacher from student, friend from friend, GF/BF from BF/GF..oh its a long long list. And we always end up seeing ourselves in this whirlwind of hangups.
When it comes to your success, I do feel its important to have expectations from yourself.But when it comes to relations, I think one should never ever expects from anyone, not even from your closest one. The thing that happens is, when we start making apprehensions naa, we start thinking from someone else's point of view. In the sense, that we start making assumptions as how he/she will react. And when it doesn't work the way we want, it hurts...it hurts big time.
Its these catches that kills you at the end.
Its always easy to say "Don't Expect", but at the same time it is the most toughest thing "Not to Expect".
Somehow I have made my mind and now I simply don't expect anything from anyone.Life is much more smooth now.
But phir bhi, we always will say that so many apprehensions, so less time for it!

Enjoy life to the fullest.Just don't expect!
Thats the mantra!
Follow it and you will be the most happy person on this beautiful earth.

Nice. But as you said, it's tough not to expect! And that explains why at the end of the day, most of us are not happy!

Indeed!

But then, it is floating between the extremes. When you expect and something actually happens the way you want it to be, you extract the maximum happiness out of it. Whereas you end up being really sad if you are let down.

Whereas not expecting does not let you be sad, at the same time, it doesnt even let you be extremely happy.

It is a trade off you need to choose.

Eventually, take it easy.. :)
