My thought for today is expectations. It has been said that an expectation is a premeditated disappointment. I often expect people in my life to treat me a certain way or to do a certain thing. That would be my expectation of them. And of course, I don't tell them what my expectation is, because they ought to know, right? When they let me down, I am disappointed, and they don't know that they've let me down, because they don't know that I had an expectation on them in the first place. My level of serenity would be higher if I had told them what my expectation was, or if I hadn't had one to begin with.
What outcome or reaction am I secretly counting on, which, if it doesn't turn out the way I want it to, will make me feel wronged or disappointed, today?
