Expecting Nothing

This blog is going to start off with stuff that sounds pretty pessimistic. Please bear with me, I swear I have a point. In life I have learned the hard way that we can't expect anything from other people. As humans, we are all flawed and eventually we let eachother down. If we place our hopes and/or happiness in the hands of someone else, we're bound to get crushed and feel heartbroken.

On the flipside of that, the sooner we realize this the better because I've also learned I need to MAKE my own happiness. If I want something, I go get it. If I have a goal, I get up off my butt and take the neccessary steps to accomplish it. The only person I now place 100% faith in, is myself. Because if I let myself down, I am the only one to blame.

I'm sure you're wondering where the "Moment of Win" is here...

If I go about my life not expecting anything from anyone... For example: If I don't EXPECT my hypothetical boyfriend to text me to say goodnight or if I don't EXPECT my Mom to keep her plans with me (because her track record sucks), then I'm opening myself up for the opportunity to be surprised. I'm allowing things to just happen. So when I do get said text from hypothetical boyfriend I can smile and appreciate it, or when Mom actually goes to get her nails done with me, I can just sit back and enjoy our mother/daugther bonding time. I'm not saying to have low standards by any means. What I'm trying to say is, if you spend more time trying to do for yourself you might be too distracted to sit there and sulk about how things aren't working out for you and you can stop and smell the MOMENT OF WIN!

I'll leave you with a quote by um, Unkown (I'm too lazy to google it); "The best things happen when you least expect them to".




I really hope this post made sense. I'll fix it tomorrow when I'm not as tired. Sweet dreams everyone!
