Tossed out

  I know everyone has specific expectations for others.  I know we are, in general, consistently disappointed in others when they do not live up to our expectations.  I also realize that the problem is the expectations rather than the other person.

10 Simple ways

10 simple ways to save yourself from messing up your life
 

Stop taking so much notice of how you feel. How you feel is how you feel. It’ll pass soon. What you’re thinking is what you’re thinking. It’ll go too. Tell yourself that whatever you feel, you feel; whatever you think, you think. Since you can’t […]

Our Expectations

We must realize that others exist for us,
Primarily in our own minds and
What they are is
What we interpret them to be.
And in many cases,
The qualities they possess are
The qualities we give to them.

What we expect them to be,
We should not only question them
But also
Our Expectations.

Old Age, I […]

The scars of life

Some years ago, on a hot summer day in south Florida , a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old swimming hole behind his house. In a hurry to dive into the cool water, he ran out the back door, leaving behind shoes, socks, and shirt as he went.
He flew into […]

Mother….

The young mother set her foot on the path of life. “Is this the long
way?” she asked. And the guide said: “Yes, and the way is hard. And
you will be old before you reach the end of it……. But the end will be
better than the beginning.”
But the young mother was happy, and she would not […]

Good Luck, Bad Luck

An old man and his son worked on a small farm, with only one horse to pull the plough. One day the horse ran away.
“How terrible,” sympathized the neighbors “What bad luck.”
“Maybe.” the farmer replied.
A week later, the horse returned from the mountains leading five wild mares into the barn.
“What wonderful luck!” said the neighbors.
“Maybe.”
The […]
