I live my life with no expectations whatsoever. As such I don’t count on anyone. I don’t expect that my siblings, family or friends will come to my help. I don’t expect anything from anyone or from life. I am just a man who lives and puts no extra burden on people. I don’t feel like life owes me anything or people owe me anything.
A life with no expectations is the closest one can come to a happy life. A life with no expectations is a life of bliss.
I wake up broke one day, send a message to someone, but I won’t expect anything from them. If they bail me out, well and good. If they don’t, that is fine with me. I won’t blame them or get angry at them.
I meet a girl, I don’t expect anything. If she gives me her number, I send her a message, I don’t expect her to reply. And if she replies, I still don’t expect that we shall have that date at my place or hers.
For the past two decades and more, that is how I have lived my life. The day I dropped ny expectations is the day life begun to hit me with surprises. Because when you have no expectations, anything that happens is good.
Yet I see men and women depressed, angry, annoyed because they carry bags of expectations. They place their hopes in other people. Then they get disappointed and vent out to the whole world. Woe unto them who live with expectations.
When I go to the restaurant of life to order things, I don’t expect life to serve me anything or to serve me faster. I just order and go on with my life. I put in my best and let life do as it pleases. Who am I to expect anything from this billions of years old Universe?
I start a new business, invest my money but I don’t expect anything. I will do all it takes for it to succeed but with absolutely no expectations. Some fail, some succeed but I am still outcome independent. I am a man of the process not the results. I am married to the processes not the outcomes. I don’t give a damn what outcomes come out, I didn’t expect anything in the first place.
Wonder why I am always smiling and at peace? Because I don’t expect anything. I don’t expect that after I write this someone will read it. I don’t care.
