The World of Expectations

I've been thinking the last couple of days about "expectations." I'm making a clear and concerted effort to learn about them and how expectations impact my life in terms of relationships with myself and others.

Addressing this as an element of my practice, I wrote on the back of one of my business cards, "What am I expecting?" For the past few days, after I leave an interaction with someone, I look at the card and think about that. When I look at what I'm doing and the results, I now ask myself, "what was I expecting?" Based on my actions, did it turn out the way that I thought it would?

Try this experiment with me. Get a business card and put "What was I expecting?" on the clean side of the card. Look at it throughout your day and consider the question. I will make another posting in about two weeks and let you know what I discovered. I'm hoping that you will do the same.

Happiness,
