Adjust Your Expectations
“Freedom” – A Woman’s Walk – Week of May 30
May 30, 2010“Remembering Those Who Have Sacrificed for Us” – Love Worth Finding – May 31, 2010
May 31, 2010I think it’s fair to say that discontent is an epidemic today. And I believe a lot of it has to do with the fact that our expectations are so high. Advertising gives us the impression that we can be perpetually young, strong and good looking. The irony is that even with prosperity and longer life expectancy, we seem to enjoy life less – because reality can’t keep up with our expectations.
St. Paul wrote, “I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.” The fact that he said, “I have learned,” implies that there was a time in his life when his expectations and circumstances didn’t match up. And so he set out on a learning curve to alter his expectations, and he learned to be content.
Do you want to be happy and enjoy life? Then, like Paul, learn to adjust your expectations!
