Expectation

I love having this blog to write down my thoughts and feelings. And things that I've been learning. It's 1:10 am right now and I can't really sleep because my mind has been wondering. I got to thinking about expectations... And how it just leads to disappointment. Expectations of how you think your life is going to go. But things never go as planned! I have struggled with having expectations and it has only led to frustration and being let down. I saw this quote on Pinterest (where all my inspiration comes from... Haha) That William Shakespeare said.

"Expectation is the root of all heartache."

This statement is so true. I tend to be a dreamer, so I dream up how I think my life is going to go and how I want it to go. In reality, it never goes that way. And I just end up feeling bummed!! Social media does NOT help this either! Comparing to others is robbing us from being HAPPY. I see cute newlyweds and people traveling all these cool places. I think to myself "wow, I want that someday. That looks like the perfect life." However, I have no idea what their life is like or what they are going through. I hear that all the time but it's still hard not to compare. One thing I've learned too is to never compare your relationship to other people's relationships. I've done this before and all it does is make you doubt and not appreciate what you have. Soooooo I'm really trying to let go of ALL expectations and appreciating all the wonderful things in my life. I have so much to be grateful for.
