Post 152: Berate Expectations

February 22, 20231 min read

In the book Living Untethered, Michael Singer talks about how expectations can be so detrimental either way I use them. If I expect something good, I will notice all the times I don’t get it. If I expect something bad, I will notice everything even close to the worst-case scenario I have imagined.

By simply allowing what happens to occur and dealing with reality, I can enjoy life more because I am not constantly comparing reality to my expectations. Since reality is only going to match up with my expectations 0.001% of the time, (and this is still probably very generous) I am getting rid of so much of the disappointment I was creating.
