Expectations

As a child - what happens when we fail to meet the expectations of those whom we hold in high esteem, like our parents or those that we deeply trust?

Or worse yet, being publicly shamed by those same people?

These tiny traumas can have a snowball effect and cause us to make decisions that have negative repercussions over time.

Some of us distance ourselves from situations when we feel threatened to avoid such negative results.

But what happens when we disclaim the innocent people that we love for the sake of false justifications to avoid fear?

Who wins?

Sometimes all we want is to have time with our loved one's, but feel unworthy when they offer only time constraints, or deliver unclear communication as a form of avoidance.

These things can sometimes have us feeling alone, helpless and abandoned.

In worse case scenarios one can be influenced by these conditions to take part in displaced aggression and physically or mentally harm innocent beings that have nothing to do with the source of anger in the first place.

Again, who wins?

Not being able to express ones own feelings when things like this happens to us serves to drive one into things like addictions, false limiting beliefs, negative self talk and the mindset of lack.

What Do We Expect?

We can choose to use our actions as an excuse to hide our actual intentions and repeat the behavior over and over again expecting different results.

Or we can accept our experiences for what it is, forgive the wrongs done to us by others - let it go, and be grateful for the truth; to release us of the burdens to which we are free.

Expect the unexpected, for at the crossroads anything can happen by the power of choice.
