I find that during the beautiful journey that each one of us is experiencing as a natural part of life we are going to face at some point one or both of those ideas of having some expectations and/or having some goals. Sometimes those expectiations might not even be ours, but coming from the people that we encounter on our life journeys and some other times they might be our own. The thing is that our goals and desires are sometimes in alignment with our own or others expectations and sometimes they are not. Learning to navigate through those moments and situations where there is a discrepancy in how we see ourselves and how others see us or how we see ourselves and what we want to achieve are some key elements that just help us be and stay true to ourselves at all times.
Lets start first with the idea of setting a goal for ourselves. We all have things that we want and places that we want to get to and I am not talking only about the physical space, but also wanting to get to a specific mmindset or just establishing a new habbit or skill. Those are all great examples of things that might be consciously or unconsciouly on what we would generaly call our goals list or goal designing. I personaly like to call this goal designing because I think that this practice is realy powerful and it is actualy way more that just a list. By simply stating what we want and where we are heading towards, we are also allowing the Univeses guidance to step into our lives and also help us reach our goals and make all our creams come true. This is just amazing how simplt things can work in our favor by simply aknowledging and becoming aware, stating what we truly want and desire into our lives.
Now, when it comes to expectations, some times they might be just the same as we have designed to be our goals, but there are also times when they are two completely different stories so thats when we truly need to get to listen to ourselves and find our true meaning. Listening to what other people think or expect of us can be useful up to some point like finding our a jobs duties or how we have engaged into a specific project, getting some feedback, but it can also be a tricky conversation as our tendency is to be social beings and we might fall into the trap of tryting to fulfill somebody elses expectations. When it is in alignment with our own needs, wantings and desires, its all fine, but when its not, thats the moment when we have got to turn back to our true selves in order to be able to find our truth and live a happy, healthy and fulfilling life. We are the ones in charge of our own well being and health so we are ultimately the ones that are supposed to know whats best for our own growth, healing and over all well being.
Stay true to yourself and trust that you are always guided and taken care of. Also know that no matter what the outcome might look like right now, it is always an ongoing learning practice and experience that just leads us to having better, healthier and happier lives.
