What expectations
Do you have
Of yourself,
Of this world,
And of others.
How would your day change
Without having expectations?
But only awareness and love.
Dear One, with what expectations do you start your day? Are they of others or yourself? How do you feel if those expectations are unmet? How would your day be different if you had no expectations at all, if you only existed with observation and love?
Have you noticed that expectations cause you grief and sorrow? For if they go unmet, you feel disappointed, perhaps even angry. Is this how you wish to proceed throughout your day? Is it possible to move through your day without expectations?
Dear One, we understand that this human existence encourages you to have personal and professional goals. But if those goals are not met, can you accept how much you have accomplished without judgment? How often have you pushed beyond your limits to achieve a goal? By doing so, have you been mindful of what your body, mind, and soul tell you?
One of the keys to peaceful living is to accept yourself and others where you are at this moment. Of course, this does not mean you cannot encourage yourself or others to do better tomorrow. But in this very moment, be grateful for what you have done.
Setting goals gives you a roadmap, a timeframe for progress. But if they are not reached, can you reflect upon why they were not reached? Were you expecting too much or unaware of someone’s true nature? Can you accept where you are and readjust how you feel at the end of the day?
Going into any situation with expectations can set you up for disappointment and judgment. Instead, be aware of what is occurring and move through the situation with love and compassion. If you are tired, rest. If you are angry, ask yourself if those expectations were unrealistic. Moving through your day without expectation can give you a clearer vision of the world around you.
Be gentle with yourself and others. If someone has disappointed you, perhaps your expectations of them did not reflect what they were capable of doing. If you disappointed yourself, consider if you were honest in your assessment of what you could do.
You are in a human form that feels great emotions, can be distracted easily and ages. Be honest with yourself when considering what is possible for you to achieve. Perhaps you need more time to heal emotionally, mentally, or physically. Accept who you are in this moment and do the same for others.
Moving through this world that promotes action, achievement, and accomplishment can be challenging. Time for reflection and healing is not seen as necessary when it is essential for personal growth. Stop and listen to what you are being told by your body and choose accordingly.
Respond to the actions or inactions of others with acceptance and grace. Consider why these situations arose and if they serve you. If not, move away with grace rather than anger. Accept where others are in their lives and that they often cannot meet your expectations. Honor and love them for who they are at this time with compassion and acceptance rather than judgment.
Spend a day without expectations of how it will unfold, for many unknown aspects can affect it. You do not live in a vacuum and cannot control what occurs around you. Accept what comes with grace and gratitude, for all are connected and affected by what happens in your life. Unfulfilled expectations may be the catalyst for change in your life—a gift rather than a disappointment. Do not allow expectations to limit you, Dear One.
Live in peace and acceptance
Rather than with expectation.
Each moment is an opportunity
To love and to grow with grace.
Open your heart and your mind
To the limitless opportunities before you
And walk in peace and love.
Dearest One With All of Thee.
