Options and Choices = expectations and disappointment?

The Choices we Choose to make

There are choices and then there are, well, choices. We choose. Sometimes we think we have no choice but you know we do.

We also have expectations, which sometimes drive the choices we make.

The sticky bit, is when the expectations are more than we can ecologically cope with or worse that we have expectations of others that THEY cannot ecologically embrace.

This leads to disappointment and shows us that the premise of the outcome of communication is the result that you get is very true and has great relevance no matter what we get up to or whatever choice we make.

This is the kind of thing that can lead us into the cul-de-sac of Hobson’s Choice; no choice at all, a less than totally verdant place to be.

My old friend Castaneda has a good one for this, read this and think about the situation you find yourself in when the walls are closing in and you feel that there is no way to move forward, there is still choice…

“Any path is only a path, and there is no affront, to oneself or to others, in dropping it if that is what your heart tells you. All paths lead no-where, it is important to choose a path that has heart!”

There is always a choice, people may be disappointed at the choices you make, but that is their expectation not yours.

Choose to release your expectations of yourself and your expectations of others and find freedom, peace and acceptance.
You may be pleasantly surprised to find other things too, things that you may have overlooked from the platform of high expectations.
