Expectations

Yesterday was one of those days. Even though I had gotten plenty of sleep, I was tired. I was expecting sunshine when I woke up and instead was greeted by grey skies. Maybe that was the problem. Often times when we expect one thing and get another, we become disappointed. We build ourselves up to be torn down. I am not saying we shouldn't have dreams or hopes. We should however be ready for the unexpected as much as we ready ourselves for the expected. One thing I am trying to learn is to be happy in whatever state I am in. Whether rich, poor, healthy, sick, sad, happy or any other state of being...I want to be thankful for where I am at right now and what I might be able to learn in this place. This is my goal. This is my dream. The rest will follow!
