CHANGES lead by eXpEcTaTiOns…!!!

I recently came across this quote, 

"If you expect nothing from anybody, you’re never disappointed" -- Sylvia Plath.

Which keeps me wondering does it mean to be all by yourself...? Is it even possible..?

When I look at it with a different point of view, to my understanding the author of the quote mentioned above, is trying to say that one can expect only after believing.... and with belief apprehensions surely come hand in hand. So if anything or everything goes wrong it shall conclude with huge disappointments. And it's always easier to deal with the disappointments created by ourselves, but it's hard to deal with the ones created by others.

When this particular thought is taken to a higher level where its noticed that no matter how stringent or flexible the situation is, it’s usually left to each one of us to decide which way to follow:

- the common path which others choose for us in the name of expectations; or 

- the thoroughfare which we unknowingly bump into which is as unexpected as it could be!!

But then how far such pattern of decision making is going to let you outreach yourself or any situation!!!  

Surely there is a lot to do in between of what is already going on and what needs to be done, it's like the grey area lying in between the bLaCk & the wHiTe and that's where you find a way which is meant for you to take every probable liberty to do what you have to do... !!!

For any of us, we can very conveniently analyze/ gaze at other's situations but when someone is a part of a particular live scenario, it requires a lot of determination and strength to live it up and get through.

A way-out from such situation is to understand 'Change'. Although it’s profoundly said that the only thing which remains constant is 'CHANGE', to very much of our surprise is the irony that we all constantly refrain to accept 'Change'. 

The day we start not just expecting more from ourselves than others but also live upto them, we will learn to accept not just the changes around us but also the ones within us.

And then there shall be hope for a day when 'the change' is created by each one of us with no denial to accept it; rather we start expecting from ourselves and not others..!!!
