Tag: how expectations set you up for resentments
Regardless of your environment, your culture, your religious (or not) upbringing, we all get a say (and honestly, the final word on) how free we are and will ever be. What I see in the world today is a case of mental slavery where we’ve become content to be told what to do, well into adulthood and rarely stop to question the rules, those who make the rules and why or when we ever agreed to them?
If we keep our best hopes and dreams in our hearts for our children and for everyone we love, but still allow them the creative space to bring their own energy and needs into the pictures, then we begin to see children growing up into adults who actually know who they are, and are actually okay with it! #authentic #authenticity
When we are being authentic in our personal boundaries, we treat ourselves in such a way that sets the standard for the rest of the world as well. So, there’s simply no room for “Joe Schmoe” to come prancing into your life treating you like a pail of garbage, because you simply don’t allow it into your field of existence. And this leads us to to expectations which I’ve written about before and gotten a lot of great feedback for, so I’d like to give it another go, but with a twist. This time, let’s focus more on what we expect from OURSELVES rather than those around us.
Some of us are better than others at being true or “real” with others. And I honestly don’t believe that most of us do this intentionally. I think there is a huge epidemic going on in the last few generations and it’s called WE HAVE FORGOTTEN WHO WE ARE.
