Expectations

Unexpectedly, I received a call from a friend and it has been a long time that I chatted over the telephone. I was already thinking of keeping my phone to the storeroom.

Expectation.

A word that could bring us to a greater height or bring us down the pit.

I have heard some parents telling me exasperatedly that they do not want to expect anything from their child because the child will never meet it. Then I'd wondered if the child will have any goals to work towards to?

Then I have heard of couples' quarrel 'screaming' exactly like the comic strip below "Do it MY WAY!".

It is very easy to take those close to us for granted and start placing expectations. A balanced expectation will bring about wellness and great height. A lopsided expectation brings a relationship downhill.
