Has anyone ever wondered what really hurts you? Its not a person, or a place, or a thing.. its your own expectations. We, as humans, have expectations.. we hold certain people to a higher standard, we hope a place is an amazing spot to be, and we let things excite us.
A person cant hurt you, its your own expectation of who you want them to be or what you want them to do that hurts you. You hold someone to a higher standard because you know what you would do if you were them.
A place cant hurt you. You have expectations of whatever this place may be, as being exciting, or beautiful, or whatever it is that may put a smile on your face.
A thing cant hurt you. Again, you have expectations of whatever thing it may be, as being exciting or something that makes you happy.
All of these "things" you have expectations for. But how do you not have expectations? There's the saying "prepare for the worst, but hope for the best". Even hope is like an expectation. It's giving you that small thing to hold on to where you're expecting that small thing to possibly come true.
So I wonder is it really possible to not have any expectations? As much as it may suck and hurt some time to have them.. is it any better to just think negatively all the time? I dont know if thats even possible for me. I mean yeah, I have negative thoughts sometimes.. but for some reason I feel the positivity try to push through. I feel the expectations start to come to light, however it may need to be.
So how do we change this to not getting hurt out of a situation.. how do you completely get to the place of no longer hurt out of a situation, but maybe just bummed?
