Expectations.

Making plans for something you want to do is important in my opinion. You plan so you can have the day you want. We shouldn’t look at plans as something we must do, we should look at plans as a guide that’ll help us reach a goal we want to achieve. Even in art or writing, you have to start with a sketch or a draft before getting into the finished product. I apply this concept in my life and it helps a lot. The reason I say this is because of this one thing called expectations, expectations kill a lot of dreams, relationships, friendships just to mention a few. The reason why people have so much expectation from things or people they barely know is beyond me. I feel like when you do that, you’re just making your life harder. That’ll make you mad when someone does something you didn’t expect them to do or you’ll just be mad when something doesn’t go the way you want it to go. Let me give you an example when somebody works so hard for years expecting success and they don’t get it, this might drive them crazy and they might even go to the extent of giving up or doing something even worse than that. But when you approach a situation like this in a way where you just close your eyes find something you love and work hard on it without expecting the world to hand you success. I say this because I’m from a third world country and I’ve seen a lot and when I say a lot I don’t just mean a lot but A LOT of people who work way harder than me or anyone I’ve ever seen and their success is not even close to what they deserve. WHY is this you might ask? My answer would be “circumstances” We don’t choose where we are born, we don’t choose what we’re born with. Knowing this I’ve been living my life with a mentality where I just work hard and whatever comes COMES.
