Expectations

"I expect nothing.... I am free...." -Nikos Kazantzakis

Often we expect the most of those we love the most, that is why we are most dissappointed when loved ones do not behave in the ways we assume them to.

What if one was to give up expectations of others, and simply accept them, ourselves and everything for just what it is without making any assumptions on the outcomes,

What if we fulfill our own emotional needs, the ones we usually expect others to fill for us,

Would this then lead to a simple kind of freedom, where anything would be possible, anything would have the chance to take place, anything could be experienced.

What if instead of calculating and controlling the situation and others, we simply wait for the "anything" to unfold and take us into an unexpected, surprising journey of simplicity, joy and excitement.
