Day 5
First off I have to say, I 100% disagree with this thought process.
When I came across this quote it was almost upsetting that anyone would really feel this way. Do not just let life happen around you! You make your life to be what you want it to be. If you never expect anything, nothing you expect will ever happen! If you never assume then you are just waiting for someone else to take the first step. If you never ask, the answer will always be no! If you never demand, your needs might never be met. Do not just "let it be"...make it happen! If you feel it is meant to be, then GO GET IT! Nothing will be the way you want it to be if you never tell anyone what it is you want.

I half agree with the quote. And mostly agree with you. :)
ReplyDeleteIf you apply the first part to your interpersonal relationships I'm in agreement with it except for the never ask part - that's just dumb. You said it, if you never ask the answer will always be No. I do believe that assuming is dangerous and demanding is arrogant. In regards to expecting I think if we expect too much we set ourselves up for disappointments.
And the last part of the quote is dumb, in the most literal sense of dumb. Thing's just don't happen organically AND the way you want them to. You have to mold your life. Its your life - your creation. You hit that one spot on.
You're right that if we expect too much we set ourselves up for disappointments.
DeleteBut I feel that we can expect without expecting too much, just like we can have demands with out being too demanding.
My hubby just put in that "assuming is great too, because it means that you have people you can rely on. But...assuming things from people you shouldn't trust can be very problematic."
