Expectations

Expectations - you have them from everyone - from yourself, from your friends, from your colleagues, from your team-members, your manager, your maid, your parents, just about everyone whom you meet and know and interact with..

Expectations ranging from - "She should call me for lunch" to "He should call me up once in a while, why should I be the one to call always" to "They should wait for me to have a meeting" to "My manager should put a +ve performance note for me" to "My work should be appreciated" to "My niece should play with me without crying whenever I am home" to "My mother should always be there for me" to ....

Sometimes knowingly, sometimes unknowingly, before we even realize, we build up this pile of expectations from everyone... and at some point that pile becomes too heavy to carry... You then decide that you are not going to keep expectations from people... Not realizing that all you did was just add one more expectation from yourself to that pile!
