You are beautiful. You are loved. You are worthy. Just the way you are. Why is that so hard to believe when others simply don’t meet your expectations? Perhaps the key is in our own expectations of that relationship. I will not forget that I may pass Robins while looking for Meadowlarks. And I may pass opportunity while searching for what I want, instead of what is to be received.
I once worked on a large community project with a friend of mine. During the first several months of planning it was clear that the project would be a great success because of this person’s knowledge, passion and skills. There were a few obstacles, from many directions and we always got back on track. Then one day something changed. That passion they once displayed was gone. Little by little they started backing of the project. Then it was apparent that some of their knowledge and skills were not as strong as they perceive.
Text messages, emails, phone calls were not returned, many people felt abandoned, frustrated and disappointed. This person eventually communicated some. They shared that they felt abandoned, frustrated and disappointed. Perception is everything sometimes isn’t it?
Several friendships were lost. Much respect faded. Trust called to question. Perhaps the expectations that we have for ourselves and others are set so high that they are unachievable under most any circumstance? It has been said that when we reduce our expectations to nothing, each of us can really appreciate what you have.
I can be the change I seek in this world… I will live life knowing that disappointment and expectations are a lot like bankruptcy; bankruptcy of friendship, spirit, progress and life.
