Great Expectations

A dictionary elucidation of expectation is something that’s most likely to happen; a belief that may or may not be representative of reality. Anticipations are unquestionably centered on the future; something that not even genius can predict. Expectations can have beneficial outcomes: when they are met there is indeed a sense of triumph but lesser advantageous results assure frustration. If something good happens (that was not at all expected) it counts as wonder. Expectations do take up a large proportion of thought and emotion. Behavior towards people, events and even one’s own self is significantly set by expectations.

WOW: The path to success

Winning has gained prominence in today’s world; however victory is vital to the human who wins, not to the world itself. The world merely prepares for and enjoys the game. Success enhances self-regard; however success as well as self-regard, are misnomers. The fun in the game and self-growth that occurs through the process is the ultimate goal. There are several paths, some seem appropriate to few, others view them as inadequate. Reality is static but percepts of it vary. Hence there are innumerable ‘right’ paths for different people. More so, they are defined as ‘right’ only after they give expected outcomes. You would never know what’s right, right at the outset!
