Losing my Expectations

My brain seems to be functioning on vacation mode still so I'm a day late with my posting this week but really, if I'm making my own schedule then I'm gonna let myself break it.

I do however, have a quotation that I have been wanting to share. At this point in time, I seem to be learning a lot about expectations. It's a lesson that comes up now and again for me and as I have expressed before I believe the universe will keep teaching a person a lesson until it is fully grasped. I read this the other day and loved it:

"Serenity comes when you trade expectations for acceptance." - Unknown

I understand that having expectations only leads to disappointment but I tend to struggle with it because I find a great contradiction between setting goals and going with the flow. I also admit that I have difficulty with this because I like to be in control and I dislike when things don't go as planned. Goal setting is an important part of life and I know it is necessary, even just to prevent laziness. However, I can never seem to find the balance where I set goals but stay open and adaptable to the universe stepping in and giving me a push in a better direction.

I like my shared quotation because it gives me something to focus on.
Acceptance.

This week I will not lose sight of my goals but I will accept when a goal is not realized and look for my better way.


Ta - Ta !
