Expectations Are The THIEF of Joy
Explain to me why I’m wrong and I may believe you.
But, I don’t think you would even bother contradicting me on this one after this post.
This is a piece I’ve been meaning to write in a while now.
So, I will to do my best and you can judge me all you want afterwards.
Why though expectations steal away all the joy from us?
1. We Make Things HUGE in our Minds
Tell me you haven’t experienced it. You are probably lying right now.
All of us have pictured exactly a first date, a trip abroad or even a sexual encounter.
How many of those times the final result has failed us over and over and over again??
Say it with me: COUNTLESS TIMES
That happens for a reason nevertheless.
We have the tendency to build up situations so much inn our heads that reality can barely compare.
