Hi, Ace here.
Today, i would like to explain why having a lot ideas with high expectations are bad.
Having a lot of ideas are good... But having high expectations will drain you.
This will clear your mind and make you understand why some people feel like giving up.
Lets start...
This one sentence will make you realize what high expectations does:
If you expect too much, it will hurt too much.
Let me tell you what i mean.
If you expect too much...
You get attached to an outcome.
You try making it happen.
You worry about what would happen if it doesn't happen.
You close all the possible ways you can receive that outcome in your mind.
You get tired of trying and thinking over and over about the same thing.
You end your desire by giving up because it seemed to hard to get it.
...Now you are hurt.
Notice how this one thing can affect you so much mentally and physically.
If you want to expect things, just EXPECT... Simple as that.
Don't expect too much...
...Don't expect too less.
Expecting can sometimes be a good thing when it comes to doing certain things. Like, if you expect a reply or good grades for your exam, you may play with ideas which will lead you to get those things.
However, when expectations become an attachment, it will get you drained...
...LOA way and Naturally.
In certain situations, expectations are good. However, it is best to change your expectations into Thank Yous and Hopes.
Thank you for the idea, i hope it works.
If it works out, then I'll be happy. If it doesn't work out, I'll still be happy because my desire can come in million ways more, than an outcome that is in my mind.
There's nothing for me to lose by trying... It will only help me grow or push me towards my goal. I have complete faith and beliefs.
Be happy, be thankful.
Be excited, be hopeful.
Expect good things for future, don't expect too much.
After all, i am thankful about the fact that i've had high expectations, because it taught me that it brings nothing but unnecessary pain, doubts and regrets for trying so hard.
Everything you go through, it teaches you some things in life that maybe you would have never knew if you didn't go through it. Some things are easy to notice and some things you have to go through to notice...
...some things you have been through has made you come across LOA and RS.
Be thankful.
Be hopeful.
Allow yourself to be happy about what you are afraid of losing the most. Trying to hard won't help.
Only faith in yourself and God/Universe and everything will come and stay.
Don't let high expectations bring you closer to unnecessary doubts and pain.
