Expectation

One of the most powerful things I’ve seen operate in people’s lives is the power of expectation. Whether one admits this or not, expectations often time guide our next steps. Whether we move forward or not is sometimes determined by what we expect our action or inaction will produce. I’ve been fortunate in my time on earth to be witness to people’s stories, some of their hopes and fears and the one thing that linked them together, how they move forward or backwards from any event especially concerning the future is an expectation. In as much I do understand that expectations have been the source of some major heartbreaks and some of our most devastating moments. I believe that expectations have the power to uplift a person even above their circumstance or the tempo that has been set until this point. Expectation cannot work in isolation, they require hope and a dose of faith. As a people and as an individual you have every right to be happy and to look forward to those moments, understanding that tough times are guaranteed but those times won’t deter you from the life you dream for yourself. Make your expectations known, let them be attainable and chase them with all persistence. Make that choice that your life, the life that you create will reflect everything that you hold dear and what is in your heart. Don’t fear expectations, be wise when you create them and work yourself stupid until you achieve them, settle for nothing less. Come what may. Work hard on your happiness.
