The Overstatement of Expectations…

Through life we go through a series of events, cycles, journeys, mistakes, building blocks and so on and so fourth – in which we find ourselves venturing through hope and faith with exceeding expectations, obviously goal driven, but sometimes we overstate ourselves in the sense that things will just happen when we want them to happen.

We get so tied up in what is going on and become focused on the past things and the things we want in the future… but what about now? What about the things of the present? The people, the friends, the society around you! What about working on the how and why we are going to get something and somewhere rather then the what.

I'm not saying don't set goals, or pursue ambitions or dreams, but don't overstate yourself with things which need a reality of time to happen. Not everything is going to happen as planned, so be prepared for it! Be ready to let yourself be vulnerable. Its ok to make a mistake, to feel a bit of disappointment or failure. Because without these how can we find true success or achievement?

I'm just saying don't pursue something which is running away from you, from who you are, from who you are meant to be! But chase after the things you can capture with empowerment and through the knowledge that this is building you up to move you forward rather than around in circles or lower…

“To move forward it takes not a crawl on all fours, not a single step nor a jump but stepping into the motion with two feet”

  1. *like* :) It's so true, and so deep. So often we go for things that aren't who we are and only realise it (if we do) when it could be too late... Good work :) B3x123
