Expectation and Let Down

Sometimes in life we feel let down and get quite emotional about it. Someone may have promised or said they will do something but they let you down. I'm sure everyone has experienced this and been upset by this, the emotional response need not be negative.

There are a few ways to approach let down. The key element to the emotional response of being let down is expectation, when we place an expectation on an object external to our mind we will always put ourselves in a venerable position, a position to be let down. How many times do we let ourselves down? Recall ever having said you will do something for yourself and then ended up procrastinating?

How can we trust an external source to bring us happiness or content? The point is we can't. This doesn't mean we don't live life without trusting people, it simply means instead of creating expectation we just try to understand that people are not perfect, they make mistakes, get caught up in material possessions, become distracted, are sometimes forgetful and sometimes self centred.... Agreed? People are generally not like this all the time but are you perfect? How many times have you let someone down?

We project our ideals, expectations and ideas onto other people, it is likely we will eventually be "let down", be understanding however, for we ourselves are also the culprits of this "crime".

Remeber, nobody is perfect, just be happy withing yourself.

Practice, Practice, Practice Some More!

In life we have things that we want to do but aren't confident with or don't have the ability to do. It may be that you have just begun a certain skill and the reason for your lack of skill is obvious. You may also have been attempting this skill for many years. A lot of people beat themselves up over not being proficient in a certain area or being incapable, this is the opposite of what is needed.

Just do it! Don't think about it, don't think ahead just do it! Maybe go back to square one, start practicing the basics, build up a solid foundation. Going back to square one can usually be of benefit.

Just keep at things and enjoy it, don't compare yourself, don't think ahead, focus on what you are doing at the moment and when you do something that you enjoy or want to be proficient at reward yourself when you are done practicing or learning!

Just chillout peeps, you don't have to be perfect or be the best straight away!

There is Always a Way Forward

Sometimes life gets you down and things come to a head, you can't see a way out. We all get down at times and find it hard to push forward but its important to remember that there is a way forward.

Sometimes you might be down for an obvious reason or down due to external factors or maybe you just feel down for no reason. Don't give up! Think of why your down. Have you ever felt this way before? What happened after? If its something beyond your control is it worth worrying about? If you have control why not do something?

Its always good to put things on paper, write down how you feel, what you want to do about it. Never give up though, this is the important thing, you are worth it and you can get through anything!

Peace Friends.

A Noteable Whinge

Just thought I might have a whinge about Daylight Savings… It sucks. Here in WA we like to be different.. We prefer not to conform to the standards of every other state/country. We do not like DLS! Damn politicians.
