Unmet Expectations


Time may change;
Situations may challenge!
The only change you need to determine;
                        Is leaving the Unmet Expectations behind!


Unlike old people, we tend to live a stressful life, brimming with expectations. Some of them are met and some remain unmet (as new expectations replace the fulfilled ones). Entangling in our world of self-created desires and expectations, we continue to live life, keeping tranquility at a bay. 
Ever thought how our grandparents or older people used to make their living? That was actually hard-earned money with so much manual work, less transport facilities and challenges associated with life. Despite of everything they used to get less money and were contented with their life.

Didn’t they have expectations? Didn’t they have dreams? Were they not ambitious? If you ask me I would say 'Yes' for each of the question. But the only difference is they knew how to life or actually they were well-aware of the 'Art of Living'.

If you observe carefully, we have more opportunities and many of us are financially well-off too. Enjoying each and every comfort of the world, we are lacking in good health, peaceful mind and uninterrupted sleep. What is going wrong then? We yearned for the comfort and got that. Now what, is it our ambitious attitude, extra wanting nature or chase after money? 
We need to figure it out and educate ourselves about the real art of living. The unmet expectations are nothing but our state of mind. It diverts us from one to another expectation and at last leaves us with unwanted stress. Then we only regret for the moments we lost in worrying about worthless expectations.

Live each and every moment to the fullest and get rid of self-created unmet expectations!
