Expectations

Long before I have always heard of 'The more you expect, the more you will be disappointed'.

I thought of the how but couldn't quite get the process of it.

Now, I finally understood.

Life Hack didn't quite explain it after publishing so many articles.
No offense but most of those articles/links felt like revenue generator.
However, they are a good read.
Helps to a certain extent.

With zenhabits' article titled How to Master the Art of Living, the author gave a straightforward example.
It opened my mind.

Living in the moment, thinking neither about past or present nor how difficult a task may get became a whole lot easier.

My experience so far, after the start of this semester, had been positive.
Wearing a smile became a simple task, and my consciousness actually shifted back to myself.
There is a lot less fear of 'how would others think of me?'.

Of course, there are still other flaws which I have to tackle, especially my anxiety issue.
I still get nervous easily and I am afraid this would cause negativity all over again.

Nevertheless, stop expecting and start living!
