Expectations and their effects


When you have many unpleasant experiences in life, it would be difficult to accept that life might be different in the future. Creating expectations that the future will remain the same, will get worse or get better, is not a good approach, as the future is not set and is dependent on the choices and decisions that you make. 


The future is a time that has not come yet, therefore, it will not be the same as any expectations we are likely to create. To avoid disappointments, do not create expectations, as they are not real events. 


Should you have difficulties in your life, and have made many unsuccessful attempts to alter or overcome those issues, the creation of expectations, will only lead to further disappointment and may prevent you from making another attempt. 


Expectations are nothing more than a possibility and or are created by your own past experiences/fears or the impact of other people in society.
