tackling expectation and gaining acceptance

most of the time we tend to expect too much out of life, and that’s
okay because it links to our vast imagination and much deeper
intelligence. but one thing you need to understand is you should never
expect too much out of life.  because this is how disappointment comes
along. you need to look deeper into your perspective of things, you can
do this by meditating for 10 minutes at least. Ok let me explain how to
tackle your expectation of things. first of all before doing anything
mindful you first need to bring your mind back to the present because
that’s the only thing we have at this moment and we’ve always had it.
once you realize that there is no past or future then we can stop
chewing on our worries and regrets. life offers us such a constant and
grateful moment that’s why its called the present, its a gift, and what
do we do when we receive a gift? we appreciate it. the thing about life
is, it will always offer you a gift, the gift could be amazing or
terrible. the point is to appreciate it. think of it this way. your
mum/dad/sibling/gf/bf gets you a gift that you don’t like. what do you
do?

you say thanks anyways because its the thought that counts.if
the only reason you love the people who are special in your life is
because of gifts, then you don’t love them at all.because you will be
expecting so much from them rather than accepting how beautifully
imperfect they are.  same concept reflects onto life  you need to learn
how to appreciate it not expect from it. you don’t need to learn
appreciation because we already know how to do it, we just need to
activate it, like a light switch. so to conclude this thought of the
day, from my personal perspective I feel its very important to
appreciate everything around you. your car, your health, your partner,
your food, your electronics, the fact that you are able to see everyday,
imagine how messed up it would be to never see a flower again? or ever
see the crystal clear blue waters of the beach? its not fun to be blind.
close your eyes for a minute then you will see what im talking about.
don’t take shit for granted, it could all go in a split second.

one
more thing, i feel as if i haven’t gone into much detail about this,
but don’t worry i will soon be writing a book about everything you need
to know. have a good day stay chilled :) .
