EXPECTATIONS

I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to get this one done this week, it has been a busy one. I love this topic as I have taken the time to read some of your post I do as Beth did see a lot of you not really setting any expectations on just about anything. The reasons are varied, some of you are just at a low point in your life and have been beat on so much that you don't dare expect much of anyone save yourself.

I think we all do that though, expect certain things of ourselves that we do not expect of others, sort of I am responsible for me and me alone the rest of you are on your own ..... totally understand that line of thinking been there many times myself. Yes I expect myself to be kind to others and treat them as I want to be treated, I expect myself to show mercy to those who are at the end of their ropes and maybe even show them how to climb back up.

What are my expectations for me? Oh I am in a wanting mood so they are high at the moment. I have fought for so many years to overcome SLE, I expect to win this battle, yes I do. I expect to make a move we are planning and the doors we need opened in order to do that to open for us, yes I sure do. I expect to get up each day and thank God I have it, but have it the way my dreams are seeing it. Selfish I guess but hey this is mine and these are things I expect.

Not talking about having a bank full of money, not that it wouldn't be nice, but this is my expectations and reality does need to figure in here somewhere. You see I do believe that anything and everything is possible providing you are willing to work for it and not give up. After all through God all things are possible. So with that in mind imagine those things being completed and imagine you living that life, believe with all your heart and you are going to be so surprised.

Thanks for stopping by :)

blessings n' hugs

    When you said, "I expect myself to show mercy to those who are at the end of their ropes and maybe even show them how to climb back up," I thought, yep, that's Jul!

    You are one tough lady, but with the softest of dear hearts.

  12. I've often wondered that if we could ask the top 5% of the world's millionaires/billionaires to share their wealth with those of us who have been struggling our whole lives just to put food on the table, would any of us be in a position of need?

  17. Expectations of health can sometimes be as strong (at the very least emotionally) as any medicine. Glad to hear you are determined not to let anything beat you and I will cheer you on towards winning the battle.

  18. Juls, once again you have touched my heart~ these are not selfish at all. You are too sweet to have totally self serving expectations, because I bet somewhere in those seemingly selfish expectations others are included ; )
    LHUBS to you my dear friend.
