Expectations overboard

 What do we want

When I write this would like to mention that I'm all settled by heart and mind. And the only thing that continuously pounds inside my head is a thought on 'expectation'. And how much we all are aware of it and how much we still choose to be ignorant of.

What do we all expect in life, we all want to ensure what ever we do is always kept simple and beautiful, but this in itself is a very simple example of an expectation. Just to reiterate please sit all by yourself and ponder over this thought, ‘when ever there is an expectation there is bondage’. This word in itself creates a bondage. In this case bondage with life.

Our mind is so much entangled with our daily cores that we fail to acknowledge how much we are engaged in the very thought of default expectations from the near and dear ones and inclusive of those who are not very dear but just passing by acquaintances.

Among various golden rule, that I have heard of, the one that really touched and stayed with me was to try to live life with little or no expectation for a change and see how does it feel. And trust me to my experience, for a month this definitely was a golden period for me, until my mind with its innate tendency pushed me back on to the same grounds of being vulnerable to my needs of others acknowledging my views and behaviour. This is totally a safe bet, in this process we don't loose any thing all we do is to gain eventually. This simple experience in itself is something we all are aware of but very few have the fortune to experience it and indeed extremely few whom I would rather call blessed, do live their lives peacefully with it.

If I have to bring this thought to closure on one hand this would be something a libran mind is barely capable of but to express a mindful balance is something it is capable of producing. So even if by chance you are seeking peace in life one thing we must remember

EXPECTATION is indirectly proportional to PEACE.

Lesser the expectation higher the peace and vice versa.

So from now on at the least try taking out few minutes from your daily chores to be little bit observant towards, ‘YOU KNOW WHAT :P’.
