2. The Beginning of Expectations
The moment we are born out, everything &
everyone has expectations set for us to follow & live by.
Our family has expectations for us to follow.
For our society, it has rules & standards for us to believe
& obey.
Even our friends have expectations on how we should
treat them to maintain their friendship.
3. Requirements
To achieve certain things, we must meet certain
requirements.
Ex. To obtain the educational degree we want, we must
take the right number of classes & pass a thesis/project.
Ex. When you want to get a certain job, you must have
the right education & experience.
We also set standards and expectations for ourselves.
4. No Escape
No matter where we go, rules & expectations will
always be presented.
If they are not explicit rules and expectations, then
there are implicit ones.
5. Manipulating the Rules
Rules & expectations help us stay in order because
without them, society will be in chaos.
It’s not about eliminating or having little to no
standards/expectations, for they will always be there.
It’s how you take advantage of those rules &
expectations to create the lifestyle you want.
6. Experience Freedom
If 1 rule or expectation is gone, another will manifest in
place of the old one.
Grasp what is positive and leave the negative.
Learn how to be strong, stand up for your positive
beliefs, and apply them to your life.
To be strong & leave the negativity is to truly become a
free person who makes their own decisions & a creator of
their own lifestyle.
