Well . . . What Did You Expect?
We get pretty much what we expect to get in our relationship.
What we expect to get is what we focus on.
- If it turns out good, we should not be disappointed.
- If it turns out bad, we should not be disappointed.
We got what we expected.
What else did we expect to get?
Perhaps we should learn to be in a relationship with no expectations. In a spirit of unity, only and always work together, all the time, to create the best relationship we can.
- All the time.
- With intention.
- In a spirit of unity.
- All the time.
If we could do that, maybe we wouldn’t have to be concerned about expectations when they surface; we would know things were always going to be as good as the people working on them. Perhaps that is why it is important to have a great relationship with ourselves. When we can do a great relationship with ourselves, we can do a great relationship with two people.
When we reach that place, we can have a great relationship with someone else because we already know how to be in a great relationship. . . with ourselves!
