Expectations

There are so many things in life that as humans we expect.
We expect to go to school.
We expect to make friends.
We expect that we will lead happy lives.
We expect we will find someone to love.
But do these expectations that we want for ourselves get in the way of what we expect from other people?
Granted we all want and deserve basic things from other people : respect, kindness and fair judgment. What happens when we expect things beyond these basic aspects of life? There are certain people in the world that are not able to change who they are. You have the choice on whether or not to have these people in your lives.
You cannot expect people to be able to read your mind.
You can't expect them to be good at something they have never done before.
You can't expect them to act and respond they way that you want them too.

Sometimes people need to step back, look around them and look at what they have. Ask themselves if they're happy, if they want more from life. You can't expect things to change if you dont do anything to change them. Ultimately you control your own life, your happiness, your decisions.
You can't expect people to make you happy.
You make your own happiness.
