Having high expectations of others is quite often, a recipe for disaster. Personally, I expect a lot out of myself. And automatically, I expect a lot out of others also. When I say I’m gonna do something, I will do it. When I make a promise, I keep it. Barring unforeseen circumstances, of course. For instance, if things (especially family matters) happen at the last minute and I cannot fulfill my promise(s) made to others, then that is really a bo pian case. Over the years, I have learnt that it is quite impossible to expect a lot from others. Disappointment will often follow suit. Others will never understand why we react in a certain manner because well, it is not their fault that we expect so much in the first place. Fair enough. It is not my place or power to hold others to a high standard, or any standard for that matter. I cannot control others, but I can definitely make myself happy. There are two ways to be happy: improve your reality, or lower your expectations. So yeah. Morning!
