Personal Expectations of myself and those around me is definitely an obstacle I have had to overcome. I am still learning this. I always have very high expectations for myself. It is a bit of a curse because I get frustrated when things don’t end up that way. Then once that happens that is when things start slipping.

I will be honest. My business started off wonderful two and half years ago. I was a Top Recruiter for the entire first two years of my business. But I was not where I wanted to be when I reached those two years. My “Expectations” for what my income, achievements, etc. were just not up to par in my eyes. It built a HUGE WALL that is taking me a lot to knock down!

BUT.. this is where I want to point out that you are so very right in every word of this post. As I was reading it… I was like DUH! How did I not realize this before! What I truly want to say is that…

I am SO THANKFUL for these expectations not being reached. Because if they were I might have not found all this AMAZING knowledge, training and resources to help me move forward! I truly feel so blessed to have found you all as it is what I needed to move forward! And again if I had reached my expectations then hey, I wouldn’t be here. And I LOVE being here and now!

I will work on this part of me day in and day out. It will take time but definitely will make it a priority! Thanks for the inspiration and knowledge.. you are always awesome! HUGS!

I agree with this in theory.
But practicing – actually letting go – of expectations is really quite difficult.

We by nature have our agendas… what we want to have happen all the time.

Aloha Katie:
Letting go of expectations IS a day to day, moment to moment process for me still. I would love to say it’s easy but the truth is, it’s not. However, it takes for me conscious daily reminders to let go of expectations and surrender control of my own thoughts towards people and experiences.
Awesome Post Katie!

Love you much,
Shannon

I love the “life is always rigged in your favor” quote. What a great way to reframe current situations and force us to look at it from the right angle.

Creating expectations of HOW outcomes will occur is not living in the moment. I don’t think that final outcomes/results are bad things to reach for, but when we get too attached to the steps in getting there, we often find that’s just not how the steps in this dance go! Sometimes, you have to dance with your heart, not your feet!

Think of everything you do, every action you take, as a science experiment. In science, you hypothesize what the result will be (your expectation), then you create and perform a test (take action) to see if your hypothesis holds true. Based on the results, you know whether your hypothesis was correct or not. Your expectations really don’t matter except on an emotional level.

One thing I always harp on is that you cannot fight with reality. Things are what they are. You can take an action, but you can’t always guarantee the outcome. The only thing you can do is stack the advantages in your favor. Think through the outcome you want, educate yourself, create a plan, and be ready to adjust your plan if it doesn’t work the first time.

there is saying that if you expect the best than you find the best. and you are saying that i let go of the expectation. can you clarify it. if i does not expect good from the life, from the business and from the relationship than how can i find the good. it is my expectation which keep myself focus on good and it is clear in life that whatever you focus on you will find in life.

so can you tell me that if i donot expect anything from the relationship than how can a relationship flourished. how can we judge that keep the relationship with this person is good for us or not if we have no expectation.

donot write for the sake of write. provide the example which show that it is practical.

I disagree on this one, what works best for me is simply:

Excellent post. This is one of the laws of success, described in a book that I currently finished reading entitled The Seven Spirtual Laws of Success written By Deepak Chopra. He calls this the law of detachment.
