Why Expectations Hurt : If you are doing any work following your heart and you are enjoying the work, the result will be excellent. Problem starts when you attach expectations from the work which you are doing.Expectation can be defined as anticipation of an outcome. If you set goal for an anticipated outcome, a downward deviation from it can create emotional hurt and a major unexpected negative swing can cause trauma. Expectations in relationships can be very dangerous . If we start expecting a particular set of behavior from our life partner, business partner or any other person as per the yardstick set by the blue print of our mental map , then we are at a risk of tremendous set back as our expectations may not match the vibrational frequency of the behaviour pattern of the concerned person. Fulfilment of our expectations is not exclusively in our hand. Several external influencing factors are involved. Therefore, it is better to set a goal of action with full vigour and develop a belief that our hard work will be either rewarded by positive outcome or by opportunity of learning if the outcome takes a negative swing. In relationships make yourself open with abundance and give unconditional love with zero expectation in return. Love will come back in plenty.
