Living with our Expectations:

When we first meet a person, consciously or unconsciously we construct an image of that person in our minds. From there we reflect our firm belief on the first impression thing. Those who deny this theory, also construct their image in the minds of others as a person with trust issues.

We human beings are very impatient beings. We never get to know a person really and assume their character and personality, we grew expectations for them, we want them to act accordingly, and mold their personalities through our likings. And if they fail to do it, we impose the term betrayer on them. How absurd is this thing!

Some people say that expectations keep a relationship alive and healthy. And it’s okay to expect, it gives us hope, which creates a positive impact on our living. But with these expectations, we also need to develop a trait of flexibility.

 What I mean by being flexible is that if a person doesn’t fulfill our expectations then we should accept them, love them with their flaws.

Another thing is Empathy, the ability to understand and share the feelings of another. Flexibility and empathy goes hand in hand. If we accept a person with its flaws, we also understand its feeling and insecurities. We won’t pass a judgement, we will stand in their shoes and realize the situation they are currently dealing with.

When we start a relationship with someone, It could be anyone; your friends, your family, and spouses. We need to implement the principles of flexibility and empathy in our practical life.

If we humans, become Flexible and empathetic while dealing with others, we can outshine among many of our peers and lead our life successfully.
