Expectations

 

Interesting lesson today.  What was most significant for me today was in understanding that having expectations causes us to hold onto our dreams too tightly.  This in turn causes negativity in the form of fear, fear that we will not achieve our tightly held goals.  This is totally what I have been doing!!!  A-ha!!!

I have been hanging onto my desire for attaining a certain level of success so much that I have probably not seen the real opportunities available to me.  I feel so daft at times, knowing there have probably been a million things I could have done before but I was too busy looking for a certain path instead. 

Tonight I shall focus on letting go of my goals, letting go of my expectations of how I 'thought' my life should look like.  This is so earth shattering for me, it's going to take some time to assimilate, to sink in.

I love these a-ha moments.  Just love them.

EXACTLY!

Coulda. shoulda, woulda takes up a lotta time and effort!

 

STRIVING all the time. looking for the idealistic pie-in-the sky image of what we should be. Constantly comparing our selves to others. THAT is the enemy!

 

Certainly I have thought that GOAL, GOAL, GOAL sometimes is a bit too much and leaves one (me) feeling defeated.

 

That ole definition of the elusive "success"...prompted by our need to be accepted by others who falsely validate us for our success in THEIR  EYES!

 

You post a nice insight.

AHA to me too!

Hello fellow nurse,  I have had lots of AHA's in my life.  They are great aren't they.  I enjoy them so much and love when they pop up at the least expected time.  I am much more relaxed and when I am relaxed they hit me harder, faster, and more furiously.  Enjoying them more and more.   Best to you!! --
