Heyyyyy Dreamers,<\/p>\n

\"expect\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It is MONDAYYYYYY December 26, 2016! We are about to close out this wonderful year! Yes it has had its ups and downs–just like every year but we are taking things moment-by-moment right? Or at least we should. Life happens and it happens swiftly. A lot of times we are living in the past or worrying about the future. I’m personally trying to focus on the PRESENT (Pun… especially since Christmas was just yesterday…get it presents???…Santa… Christmas etc… *awkward silence and crickets…LOL) Any who, so with my–dare I say new motto (because I have a ton) we should expect nothing but APPRECIATE EVERYTHING! This isn’t in the literal sense, we should of course expect great things to happen to us and pray, speak life over our lives and loved ones lives–and say our daily, weekly, or monthly affirmations etc. But more so don’t expect another human to go over and above for you. Doing that\u00a0you may be setting yourself up for failure. Just appreciate whatever someone does for you. This will keep you in control over your emotions and won’t allow you to be as disappointed with life and\/or people. Now I choose\u00a0my words carefully because it is SO much POWER in words, so don’t allow just anything-you are the director of your life-but don’t set unrealistic expectations on people. We have to be wise and understand what I am actually saying! Honestly, as a grown adult nobody is obligated to do ANYTHING for you… so just APPRECIATE whatever some one does decide to do out of the kindness of their heart. This is VERY fitting during the holiday seasons, when you may be upset someone didn’t get you something or do something for you. Just take a step back and think about it… don’t expect too<\/span> much from another flawed\u00a0human being. Be ok with being appreciate of what and who you have versus always having your hand out and\/or expecting from someone. Try giving–whether it’s your time, prayers, ear, or shoulder to lean on. What you are is what you attract…send out great vibes and when you’re grateful and appreciative of things you tend to get those vibes right back! I take this saying as more arrogant like someone has to do something for you or are obligated. I would take the more humble approach in life and BELIEVE everything but expect nothing… The only person I live in expectation for is GOD to fulfill HIS WORD… other than that-nope! LOL…hopefully that makes sense…LOL<\/p>\n

P.S. This post sounds Deja \u00a0vu-ish… Hmmm lol Good-Day-Dreamers!!! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
