Great Expectation

If we look back when we were younger, we have so many expectation in life. We put all of standards of life to be a perfect one, such as graduate from Master Degree at 23 yo, get married at 25 yo, got kids-the most are three starting at 27yo, got to be success in career at 35, travelling arround the world with family at 40, got rich at 45yo...enjoy the retire with full of money at 50yo. If we can fulfill all these standard that we really don't know who make it, are we sure that it will make us happy?

What if we cannot make it, should we keep reminding our mind that we are a failure or a bigger loser?

Nope! It will not guarantee you to be happy deep inside of your heart. Do you know why? Because your life is like a robot. You followed "somebody's rule" even for other people as the way of their life or as a standard of their life, that is not fun at all because you will be tired of chasing after something that you even not sure.

Let's enjoy our own life with great expectation. For instance: get married at 35yo, so what? We get more mature and understand how to react on facing problems. At 40 you haven't got any kids, so what? We can plan about having kids with no worries about age. God made your life and death, why do you trust people...just take it easy. At 43yo you still poor, so what? You are not missing anything, you just to deal with your life that God gives it to you. Just trying to get enough from your work first, then try more concern about saving little by little of your money and then without realized you will have saving account. At 55yo you haven't got rich to get your retirement, so what? Just be happy that in such age you still productive, it will help your brain keep exercising instead of being lazy and make your brain malfunction.

Now, to make all the happiness come to us while your age "is not" fit on "the standard" are stop counting the age and make a huge expectation of whatever you do. For example: If you don't have money because your job has less hour, just make an expectation by thinking, if I am working in this company little bit longer then I will get the opportunity to sharpen my skill and to get more experience in this field which is a benefit for me on my resume (like studying but get paid), or if you have different life like others, just keeping on your mind that God loves you and make you unique, so why you bothered? Just enjoying whatever God gives you. If you want to ask some more about what should you think about great expection because you missed the "people's standard", just give me a note, let share!
