When we have expectations regarding how things in our lives are suppose to play out, be it a job opportunity, a relationship, a goal we have set for ourselves, and it doesn't go the way we think it should, we often feel we have failed or made some huge mistake. But have we?
What if everything is playing out exactly the way it's suppose to? Think about it, how many times have we looked back on our lives and clearly understood the purpose and benefit of why things happened the way they did? I've found such amazing gifts within my experiences, especially the really tough ones, and I've learned that it's up to me to unwrap those gifts and uncover the real meaning and message they present to me.
So this made me wonder what life would be like if we let go of our expectations and went with the flow a little more. What would happen if we loosened the reins and trusted our hearts to lead the way? Surely by letting go of expectations, we would free ourselves from a lot of the disappointments, frustrations and low self-assessments. Perhaps we would recognize that we've never really failed at anything and that events are being lovingly orchestrated to enhance our awareness and growth. Expansion is after all, the reason we are here.
