Should I Have Expectations In Life?

Expectation =  a belief that something will happen or is likely to happen

Expectations ruin any kind of relationship.

When you don't expect anything from anyone, you will be less disappointed about others.

But the sad truth is...

    We're always expecting things about others. Like, when you open a door for someone you expect a "Thank You", or you expect life after high school to be easier, or like in my case when I text my best friend, I expect her to answer rapidly. But no, she takes like 30 minutes to sometimes 2 - 3 hours to answer a message. When those expectations don't come true, you feel disappointed, mad, or sad. But it's not the other person's fault. They didn't know you were expecting something from them. You're the one who had expectations.

I would tell you to stop having expectations about others, but that's not realistic because in the back of your mind you'll still be expecting something from others.

Like when I invite my best friend to go somewhere, I know I shouldn't expect anything, but really really deep inside I'm still expecting her to go.

So, how do we stop expecting something from other people? Honestly, I have no idea.

If you have the answer, please comment below. I would really like to know.

Worry About Life?

    In the past, I worried that I'll lose my best friend because we almost never see each other in person(No, not the same person in "Can You Trust Somebody With Your Life") and things will change. That she would meet new people and forget about me, but while time passes by, I've learned that That is not going to happen. I was worrying about nothing.

    In some point of our life, we've worried about nothing... 

...and the thing is that, Worrying makes no difference in the outcome of the situation.

Think about it! When has being worried about something changed the situation? 

Asnwer:

NEVER!!

So, why do we worry? Shouldn't we trust God with everything? 

Believe me, when you leave it in God's hands you will feel weightless, or at least you won't feel as heavy as before. It's going to be such a relief!

People usually say "Pray more, Worry less", but that's wrong! We shouldn't worry at all! Why should we always be worrying about something? Thats a burden. You won't be at peace in your life.

We should change the saying above and say "Trust God and You'll be Worryless".

Am I Listening In My Life?

People sometimes talk too much and they don't take the time to listen.

I love talking with my best friend(no, not the same person I talked about in "Can You Trust Somebody With Your Life" by the way). She really listens, well when her mind doesn't wonder off ;) .

    The thing I really like about talking with my best friend, when I'm just mad or sad and want to get something off my chest, is that she doesn't say Anything! Honestly, it's because she doesn't know what to say, but when I just want to get something off my chest, I don't need a response, I just need her to listen and be there for me.

    We need more listeners! God is a great listener. He is so great in listening, that sometimes people even doubt that He is listening because He usually doesn't respond in That Moment. He does respond eventually, but while you wait you need to stand still and Listen to His response. Just keep quiet and listen to the world around you because God speaks in many ways.

    You can start by taking a moment each day and just be in complete silence. Focus on Jesus, try to listen. Sure, maybe you won't hear anything at first. But, it's like talking... People taught us how to talk and it took some time to get the hang of it. Now, we're going to learn how to listen, so it's going to take some time too.

Be Patient, It's Worth It!

Be Still And Listen.

Distracted In Life?

Honestly I've been trying to think about what I was going to write about today, but I'm so distracted.

My thoughts are distracting me and I think my phone isn't helping either.

It's so hard to think straight when you're thinking of a lot of things at once. Like right now I'm thinking about:

• What I'm going to tell my best friend tomorrow.
• Should I go to college?
• Why is my friend taking so long to answer my kik?
• What am I really trying to say in this blog post?
• Why do I keep writing about stuff I'm thinking about?

We easily get distracted with the simplest things and loose focus. Loose focus of what really is important. 

Like Jesus!!

We loose focus on Jesus. We get so distracted with the things in this world, and sometimes we don't stop and just focus our heart and mind on the One Who Is In Us (if you accepted Jesus in your heart). 

    We should always depend on God, but the sad truth is... We don't. We don't depend on God when we brush our teeth or when we walk or even when we eat. Because all our life our parents have been trying to teach us that we should be independent. They taught us how to walk, brush our teeth and eat by ourselves.

    Well, it's time to start learning again, but this time being dependent on God with everything we do. Sure, it's not easy but lets take it step by step. 

Don't let the world distract you. Focus on the One and Only, Jesus Christ/God/the Holy Spirit.

Feel free to comment below, what area of your life you can start being dependent on God?
