October 17, 2014 You like to assign roles to the people in your life. And when they dont play their parts right, you have a hard time accepting that. ~Kasie West How often are we choosing the wrong people to play a crucial part in our lives. How often do we get upset that these people dont live up to the part that you created for them. We expect so much from people that we forget that a person can only hold up to what they are capable of. If you are choosing a person who shows consistent behaviors of not being faithful, yet you choose to engage in relations and they become unfaithful to you, then how does one become disappointed in what they already knew? When we choose a person who has a consistent history of carelessly spending money and we make that person a treasurer to our organization, and they create a mess of the funds, why does one become upset? Or even if a person shows no behaviors of such and they still dont live up to their part, we still become upset, not realizing that our expectations of people hold too much value. We expect people to do, because we would. Thats not how it works. It does not matter what you do, you can not expect the same from someone else, or you will be forever disappointed. People do change everyday. They can change for the better or the worse...and in those moments of change, it can affect the roles that they play in your life...so with that being said ASSIGNMENT Realize that how you are, is not how another is. Realize the level of expectations you hold on the people in your life. Know that things can happen and they will, good or bad. How you deal with things means everything to your own well being. Know that people can disappoint you, and it generally has nothing to do with you, but everything with them. Everyone is figuring things out and trying to understand where they fit, and it may not be the role that you have cast upon them for yourself. Understand today, that no one is as close to you as you are to yourself. Understand that you should continue to love the folk in your life, regardless of how you feel you have been treated. Not everyone feels, loves, cares, works, or does anything exactly the same. Dont let your expectations exceed what folk are capable to give. Stop forcing roles...let people just be, and the roles will fall into place itself. © *Keep a Journal*
