A good friend of mine told me yesterday, that he tries to learn something out of every situation in his life. It was not the first time someone told me that. I try to live like that for a long time already, but this time those words had totally different meaning to me. Sometimes when I am driving around in my car, talking to different people or just being lost in my thoughts I have something like a "flash-thought" hitting me like a stroke. I start seeing habits I am so used to that I don't even know that I behave that way.
I had that Flash-Thought yesterday after thinking what the word EXPECTATION means to me. I realized that I have a lot of expectations in other people's behavior. But it is not any of my business expecting a certain behavior from people I like! Or ... I can have expectations but I don't have any right being pissed or sad if they don't get fulfilled.
For me everything comes together now...I realize that there is a difference between thinking positive and expecting things to happen in a certain way. Expectations are much more detailed... If you have an expectation you know exactly what you want, how people should behave or how food should taste and if this detailed belief does not exactly come true the result is being disappointed. But how can I know how things will turn out in detail if I havn't experienced them yet? I definitely can't tell how exactly or rather detailed the future will be...
BUT... If you think positive about things the details don't count. You just KNOW everything will turn out fine, doesn't matter how, IT JUST WILL.
Now that I know about this habit I can start working on it, start changing it and make life easier for my friends and me. I want to thank my friend for opening my eyes. For making me go out of any situation even stronger. I told that person already that he's always having the right words which I am very thankful for.
