I have been known to be guilty of having expectations of how someone should be, act or what they should say in all relationships – love, family, friendship, even work. I think we all get that idea in our head, that expectation, and more often than not, those expected actions, expected words, don’t happen the way we think they ought to. We set ourselves up for that unnecessary disappointment.
When we don’t have the expectations, especially for others, and we keep an open mind and open heart – sometimes people surprise us, and we realize that the way they love us is exactly the way they should, and even though different than we expected, often times it’s better.
