Expectation

"The best things in life are those unexpected, because there is no expectation." As I look for some form of happiness in this life, I realize most of my self imposed pressures are living up to others expectations of me. My dad was never the father I expected, which left us battling all the time, but when I dropped any expectation and forgave him for the past, my father and I enjoyed a loving relationship before he went home. Today, I see people placing so much pressure on themselves because of what television and marketers say, what we should expect or have in life. Last night in my prayer time, the heart of my Grandmother came to me. She enjoyed life because she had very little expectation of others and gave no value to material things. I want have that heart, and by God's mercy I will. " Expectation; the act or state of looking forward or anticipating; expectant is a mental attitude." My new goal is to only expect the things God said and promised, and let people be who they are, and to not pressure myself to be what others think. I try to be a good person but I'm not perfect, just forgiven. I'm required only by my Father to show, mercy, forgiveness, and good well.
