“What should I expect?”

“Expect nothing, allow for anything.”

Ω

When we have preconceived expectations about a person, or an event, we are limiting ourselves.  We are also creating a bit of a “mold” for how we want that person or event to be.  We are not allowing for the experience of the unknown, but trying to place our own belief system into the experience so that we can make it more “known” to us.  That is like placing dark glasses over your eyes before looking at a beautiful painting – you are not allowing yourself to fully experience the painting.

Letting go of the need to “expect” things in life is a step forward towards opening up to the allowance and acceptance of anyone, and anything.  It is a step forward in using 100% of your senses to experience life.  When we place expectations on things, we limit our senses (like wearing the dark glasses) and do not allow for ourselves to fully take in the experience.

Keep in mind, expectations is not the same as setting beacons.  For example, you might have a beacon that “I am in a state of happiness.”  That is different from, “I would like to meet a mate who is tall, dark and handsome.”  One is a beacon regarding your own emotional state, and the other is a beacon on how you want your future mate to be.  What if your future mate looks nothing like that, will you simply pass him by?

We can blueprint how we would like things to be, but that is different from setting expectations ahead of time.  When we blueprint that the trip will be smooth, easy and comfortable, that is different from expecting specific things.  The key is to understand when your expectations are such that if your expectations are not met, you will be disappointed.  That implies that your expectations are trying to mold the world into your ideal scenario to please you.  However, the interesting thing is that you do not even know what the ideal scenario is in the first place.  If that is the case, then why even attempt to lay out those expectations?

When we can let go of the need to predict outcome and to be disappointed when that prediction fails – in the form of expectations, we can truly allow the universe and everyone in it to be themselves!
