Helping Others Without Expectations

One thing my mother told me is, "Try helping someone who can never pay you pack". And, yeah that is what I encourage you to do today. Be someone's angel with zero expectations.

Thoughts on Helping Others

Don't help someone because you expect something in return. Just help them because it's a part of human nature. Think about it. You haven't been able to repay everyone back for what they did for you. Have you? No but you should when you can and remember but a lot of us are 

The Art of Patience

Don't be surprised if people do what you never expected them to. You know for a fact that you sometimes don't fulfill the promises that you make yourself. Therefore, be patient with yourself and others.

The Dangers of Over-expecting

Have you ever felt like someone had to pay you back for what you did for them? It's human for us to expect certain things from those in our close circles but then again those very expectations can lead to much sadness and bitterness. Don't try to buy a relationship with your money, body, skills, or anything. Be yourself and those who love you will be there for you.

Improving Yourself Inspite of Self-Imposed Obstacles

We sometimes block our own success. It is not about him or her or them. It is about me and you. We are sometimes our worst life coaches. Stop allowing yourself to remain in one spot. You know that you got to now get up. There is always something to improve on or even learn to do. Don't get content...Perfect your skills each and everyday. Don't say you got it all. You can learn to be a better:

• Student

• Public speaker

• Driver

• Spouse

• Friend

And the list goes on and on. Expect nothing but the very best from yourself.

Making Your Expectations Clear

What do you expect from yourself? What do you expect from others? You have to know yourself well enough in order to share with the people of life what you need from them. Nobody can really read everything that is going on in your mind. You have to be open to learning about yourself. Thereafter, find ways to let the people around you know what makes you happy, sad, mad, and the like.

Who Expects the Most or Least from you?

No matter how independent we might think we are we might have to agree that there are people or things that shape the way we live. We basically model our lives around their open and subtle expectations. You have to live your own life and you can start today by:

• Ask yourself what is the most important thing to you and let that guide you in your decision-making

• Ask yourself what you might regret not doing and make sure that you make time to do it

Expecting Excellence From You

We are sometimes our own worst critics. We are sometimes our worst enemies and expect the worst from ourselves. Give yourself a break today and change your mindset. Begin to program the inner you into achieving excellence that will illuminate the outer you.

Understanding others can lead to an understanding of yourself

We are sometimes told directly and indirectly to focus on ourselves in order to know how to lead people. That is true but we should not forget also to sometimes look deeper into others. When we began to deeply delve into understanding others...it is there that we can amazingly find similarities and differences with them that can help us to have a better knowledge of ourselves. And not only that, we can also find that common ground which is essential when dealing with different kinds of people in multiple settings.

Hard life lessons

In many areas of life we usually have conscious and unconscious expectations. This is sometimes  a good thing but can also be a bad thing if patience is thrown away. In this fast paced technological world, it is not always easy to wait but waiting can sometimes save us from a lot of losses. Below is a short story...if you forget everything about it just remember that patience is a critical virtue.

Disappointment in life

Disappointment is one of those things we encounter everyday. Sometimes we face big ones, and other times the disappointment seems negligible, or at least we tell ourselves that. No matter what type of disappointment you face, remember  one to not over-expect stuff from yourself or others, and two don't lose hope that out of your disappointment something great will emerge.

 

 

Regrets and regrets

Don't you sometimes feel like your life is full of regrets? I didn't, I shouldn't have, I wish I hadn't...don't those all sound familiar? Relax, your just a human, navigating the plains of life. Nobody has all the answers, but what you can do is be patient with yourself, and the twists and turns of life. Don't dwell on the past, learn and move on, and then turn your pain into gain and lemons into lemonade.

Waiting for ourselves and others and things

A lot of people have said that nature is the mother of patience. I have found some truth in those words, as no matter the season and present circumstances, nature waits for the changes that she desires. In our lives it is not always easy to be patient with others if we are not patient with ourselves. We need to understand that waiting is not necessarily a negativity, but a blessing in disguise sometimes, as it can help us to make a better final decision. Not everything was meant to go or come by quickly so let us attempt to practice patience today beginning with ourselves.

Silence is sometimes loud

Silence is sometimes golden. When I think of some of the people I admire, they all share one thing in common; they use silence at the right time. Silence when used right or in moderation is a great teacher to the self and others.
Sometimes we just need to take a break from all the noise and distractions and remain silent. Through silence we can spare ourselves a lot of pain or confusion; as remaining silent can give you more time to think before you open your mouth.
I believe some of the greatest ideas are born out of silence applied at the right time!
Great day everyone!!!!

Money and life

Some might disagree, and say money is everything. Well money is something, but without other aspects of life added to it, money sometimes has the potential to illuminate  the shallowness of life. So yeah everybody gotta make their dollars, but don't make earning the money everything. Learn to make healthy compromises when it comes to money, but also be aware of the things that money can't buy like lost time with loved ones, health, and much more on your quest for money.

 In other words, don't let money dictate the inner you....so try to "make the money work for you, instead of working for the money."

Giving up or in...

Whenever you change your mind after trying very hard at something...don't feel defeated. Change is good. It's like a law of nature, because if nothing changes we won't have day and night or different seasons. Nevertheless, make sure that you make the right kind of change. Weigh all the pros and cons, listen to advice, and then follow your instinct. Be strong....being strong is not only about holding on and continuing. Learn to know when to start at one in order to win the war.

Great day!

One step at a time

I think it is interesting how in the quest to succeed we get so fired up and stressed, that we forget to even take one step...a baby step. We should really strive to start whether the conditions are ideal or not. I think it is great to have big dreams, but the art of accomplishing big things in small steps is also a valuable skill many of us overlook. So remember to dream big and not to wait forever to take that step or you will never learn to walk, run or fly!

Happy day!

Expecting, expected and expectations!

Sometimes when we do good things for people...a big or small part feels like we will receive good from that very person in the future. It is not easy to develop a mindset of being less expecting of people, however it is one of the easiest ways to lessen your disappointment.

So today let us just simply love and give with no expectations...so we can happy. And, of course put hate aside, worries of course which are like "a rocking chair which gives you something to do but takes you nowhere.

Great Weekend everybody!
