Expectations are nothing but what we predict for a certain situation to be in future. But most of us do not realize that the prediction is based on quintessence, i.e., if everything keeps in place and circumstances prove to be favorable enough. But Life is not meant to favor your wishes and hopes, it is not meant to be smooth. This is when we are faced with the consequences of the Unexpected.
Life is like water in the ocean - we can only see the waves from above until one goes deep inside to unravel the mysteries of it. And the harder you try, the more you will be possessed by the subtleties of Life. Life as we know it is a bliss without experiences. Experiences are never bad, as they always teach us something good for our lives ahead.
There is no harm in keeping expectations from one-self or others, but to be not prepared for the contrary is stupidity, and to not accept it is a crime against self. Moving on in life does not indicate remorselessness or lack of dedication, it signifies that you are strong enough to gather yourself and ready to kick-start again.
Expectations are not always realistic - not understanding the practicality of making something possible is imbecility.
Expectations are based on trust. Trust is nothing, but an illusion created by our mind to keep our heart unaware of the truth for a while. When we trust blindly, we do not even believe what we see because our mind perceives it differently, until and unless an eventual realization makes you acknowledge the actuality. The consequence is the Experience.
Life is incomplete without all such experiences. It becomes dull and monotonous. When you understand the secrecy of the sacred and enigmatic life, you would anticipate that anything can happen and Life would still not lose a chance to amaze you ! :P
So keep expecting . . keep experiencing . . keep getting amazed . . live life as it is !!! :))
