Live simply, Appreciate more & Expect less!

Expectations are truly an inevitable aspect of life. We grow up, listening to our parents tells us about the expectations they have from us..when an exam approaches, our teachers remind us of their expectations..as time passes, we are faced with increasing expectations from every single relationship and person we meet! It seems to me that everything we do and say is somehow or the other, always influenced by these expectations of others and it becomes the biggest challenge for us.
Yet, the sad thing is that though we try so hard our efforts go unnoticed most of the time. My belief is that if a person doesnt have the time to appreciate us, they have absolutely no right to have any expectations from us..
I cant help thinking how different life would be if it were not centered on so many expectations and if we had the choice to live life on our own terms. It would be such a lovely change if our parents would stop by while we are studying and say a few nice words and appreciate us, rather than remind us of all their expecatations..

The Epic Heart-breaks.

We've all heard about the ups and downs of relationships. At some point, we all have experienced and been through the bitter process of major and minor heart-breaks. For me, the worst feeling in life had always been to lose people I love (though it happens quite frequently!). But I guess, it is an inevitable part of life..

We meet someone and initially, everything is EPIC. But then, the sun rises and reality set in..and the reality is that no relationship (whether it be friendship or a romantic relationship) is ever perfect. We all know this deep down, yet I wonder why it SO difficult for us to actually digest it?

I've lost a lot of loved ones in my life and everytime, when they leave I blame my fate and it feels like the end of the world..and the weird thing is that no matter how many times the same thing repeats the feelings stays the same.

So I gave this whole thing a thought and I found my answer in a Stephanie Meyer's novel. It says, 

"When life offers a dream so far beyond any of our expectations,it's unreasonable to grieve when it ends"..

Every person we meet in life and every relationship brings so many good stuff along with it..we learn so much and sometimes they leave memories to treasure for a life time..it truly feels epic..but when it ends, it's stupid to wish it never happened..

So from now on, I've decided that I'm gonna stop blaming my fate everytime the unexpected happens. I'm gonna start believing that aims are at the knowns and look for the bright side of every relationship..lets see how how far it works!
