Great Effort and No Expectations

In my mind great effort comes with great expectations.

Work hard and get rewarded

It’s built into me

Society screams it at us

But the world is a random place

And expectations are funny things

Very funny things

Unlike anticipation, which means to prepare for anything

Expectations implies a certainity

And this is where we get tripped up

High expectations are a trap

This is a lesson I must learn

To put in everything I have

To give everything and leave nothing behind

At the same time have no expectations

As little as possible

How true it is man is a prisoner of his own thoughts?

His own expectations.

Me?

I expect myself to have a dream home

In a great area

With a nice car

and to be great in bed

and have the coolest freinds

and dress amazing

And every single time I miss these marks

I hate myself

Despise myself

Pain myself

Why must I own a house for example?

Why? Why? Why?

I’ll tell you why.

Because its expected of me. To be home owner. 100% expected.

Expected by who?

My friends, my family and most importantly, ME.

And it pains me.

But this pain is self inflicted.

What is the best work =I can do?

Do the best work and let go of the expectations

Empty yourself to what is in front of you and stop looking for the glorious answers.

No home runs.

Take the single.

Run hard

No expectations

Do what you can

No expectations

Love

No expectations
