What Did You Expect?

 

 

DID YOU EXPECT A GOOD THING?

IN A TIMELY MANNER?

"WAS HAPPILY EVER AFTER"

IN ALL THE PLANNING?

WHAT DID YOU EXPECT?

 

 

I had a thought yesterday as I was going about my daily business at home. "Expectation can bring disappointment" Then I looked all around because it almost seemed like a "hopeless, depressing and even end all" thought....But as I pondered this, I realized that expectation is a good thing. It motivates us to live.  Then I considered that perhaps there are times when my expectation is off the mark. Or my expectation requires preparation? and finally, when I'm eagerly anticipating an expected outcome what is my heart and mind set at? Is it all or bust?
Through the years I've seen people dive into projects completely expecting a great positive outcome, especially with all the work invested, only to see the project fall flat or fizzle out or have no great outcome.  These people get discouraged, angry, disillusioned.  I could guiltily fall in this category with some things.  Thank God Einstein didn't give up or let up on his "curiosity"

Then there are those people that expect great revenue, great results or something at the very least good! Because "they know" what to do or not do. Yet they don't put any effort toward their expectation... their health, their relationships, their finances and their overall contentment, yet they would say, or complain: "Its not what I expected this to be like!" These people will usually blame God, circumstances or someone else. OUCH!

So again I ask "WHAT ARE YOU EXPECTING?"
