One of my favourite things to say is "expect the unexpected". Because...By living without expectation it is much harder to be let down and far easier to let life just flow with surprises.
It seems when we have expectations (especially of others) we set ourselves up to being let down. I'm not just being cynical (I promise), as this can also happen with the beautiful things in life, for example, when we are happy being single and just doing our own thing (when we least expect it)...someone walks into our life and takes us by surprise, making our life at that moment a little more colourful and interesting. It may lead somewhere, it may not...and thats the beauty of going with lifes flow.
If we knew when things were going to happen each and every time at that very moment, there would be no space for the magic of life.
All the great words to describe the unexpected moments on our path ", fate, destiny, serendippity, encounters, chances, risks" There would be none of that, because we already know. How boring would that be?
Living with an open mind, free from judgement and expectations enables us to attract to our lives what we need to learn. Having faith that the universe will present situations (good and bad) to your life when you are ready to experience and continue to grow as a student of life. Nothing that comes up in this life are we not ready to handle. If we weren't we wouldn't be in that situation, so sometimes learning to accept things for the way they are and just 'being' can be the lesson in itself.
