Expect less… stress less!

Many times in the process of expecting favors from others we end up being disappointed. We feel sad for ourselves, we keep thinking I have always helped them & now, when I am in need of help everyone is trying to make an escape. It hurts.

            But the question is why we need their help? By God’s grace we all have enough skills to deal with all that comes. All that is required is willingness & efforts! There is nothing that cannot be accomplished by you on your own. The only thing that stops you from completing any task is YOU. Stop asking others for doing this… doing that… make an effort & see yourself getting it done by your own.

“Never stand begging for anything that you can earn…”

Everyone has a different view point. Everyone takes things differently. There are some people out whom you help just once & they’ll always stand ready to help you in whatever possible way they can. And, there are people who if you help when they are in trouble will always remember you… but only when they are in trouble again.

The world is not as good as you think it to be.  People will ask for favors… if you do the favors- they’ll forget it later on & if you don’t- they’ll always use it as a reason for not helping you.J Funny world.

“Expecting the world to be good to you because you are good to the world is like expecting the lion not to eat you because you don’t eat lion.”

Expectations always lead to disappointments. Lower your expectations = lowering your disappointments. The best way to stay happy is don’t expect much from others & just count on yourself. In case you don’t find any solution, then do ask for favors but don’t expect that they’ll get it done.

“It’s better to get surprised than to get disappointed”

            

Moreover, there can be one more reason for your misery. Perhaps you are always disappointed because you are always there to help others. When you always stay ready for helping others… people start taking you for granted. And, that is where you need to prove wrong. If you feel you are being taken for granted- just stop doing things for others. Learn to say NO at times.

I am not saying you to stop doing everything for others; just some big favors are enough to make them realize your worth. Don’t keep those people as your priority for which you are just an option. Help only those persons whom you feel deserve it. Whatever is given in plenty to the world is always valued less!

That’s how it goes.

“Care for those who care for you.

After all, we are not jokers to entertain everyone!”

Expectations are the root cause of all sadness. So, if you wish to stay happy then never expect. Yeah, it’s difficult but it’s not impossible!!!
