Expectations From Others Is The Problem & Self Less Service To Others Is The Solution

When we expect something from others , we hand over our control in their hands .In our day to day lives we come across instances which expose us to the vulnerability of human behavior, there are discords , disagreements and hot exchanges, when the expectations are not met. This behavioral anomaly can be overcome leading towards a reduction in showdowns and unpleasant exchanges, provided we set higher standards of self regulation & governance, where we constantly evaluate our thoughts and actions by answering these three questions


1.     Am I expecting something from others?
2.     How can I reduce this dependence on others?
3.     How can I become more self reliant?

The answers to these questions can open doors towards newer possibilities and unexplored horizons.

Reviewing our expectations from others can throw light on our deficiencies and cravings, but all humans are born equal and the deficiencies are a result of only our perception and distorted thought processes. This distortion can be corrected by realizing that there is a mistake in the formation of our mental makeup and correcting that mistake, it is much like changing a computer program and the moment a computer program is changed it starts generating a new output.

As regards to cravings , this is a "must have" feeling and most of the time this is out of sync with our values, goals, purpose and universal eternal truths.Such cravings may appear to be very much within our reach and totally independent of others but such cravings set indirect expectations from others , which brings us back to the core issue of self governance & self regulation.

So, how do we get rid of this seemingly unending tirade of unpleasant & unwanted behavioral clashes? The answer lies in leading a correct life, drawing the much needed higher energy levels and power from the invaluable internal support.

God Bless

    Upgrade Your Behavior for Personal Growth & Prosperity

                            When interacting with others, most of us have this approach of taking others for granted. We generally are too obsessed with our own liking, disliking, goals, aspirations, plans, dreams and the list has no end. But this approach can only take us down the hill and pretty fast. It might seem that being self centered is in our long term interest but this is like viewing distorted reality.                        Anything that we feel is only for us , and under the influence of such thoughts if we go on antagonizing others around us, we are surely inviting trouble for ourselves. When that problem is going to surface?, this  is just a matter of time but it certainly would.                            The social approach of being considerate & kind , as well as adhering to th...

      How Did the Festival of Diwali Start? This was the day on which Lord Ram, his wife Goddess Sita, brother Lakshman and his army of warriors returned to Ayodhya after conquering Ravan, the demon king of Lanka.
