What to do when life offers you what you want.

I have found that in life I wish for a lot of things and I was not always sure why I wanted the thing. As I have begun the process of simplifying my life I have taken more time to narrow down my desires which has helped to the noise in my head.

I am ok with being just a woman who is called, Wife, Mother, Helpmate, Student, Teacher, Friend, Business owner, a contributor to the society I live in. Nothing is impossible there are always probabilities that the things I want can be obtain with the proper motivation and determination.

As I have become clearer in my expectations its amazing how the universe has answered me. I have found that its not about waiting for the "thing" to happen its instead about acting as if that thing is already.

For example I desire to be a wife. My room was not conducive for a mate. If he showed up today he would not feel welcomed like I was expecting his arrival. I changed that. I have begun to make space for the King that is to reside in my life. I began this thought process BEFORE I have officially obtained Him.

My clothes and shoes are being moved to one side of the closet. A dresser is waiting for his things. He is welcomed. I expect the universe to answer and reward my ernest actions.

I am interested in gardening, self sufficient living, community activities on a grass root personal level, travel, food, family. I am the active driver of my life course.

Life it seems is giving me the opportunity I asked for. I am answering with YES..

Has life been knocking at your door, did you miss it? Rest assured your time will come again, mine has.

When life offers you want you want say Yes, thank you! Instead of tearing it to pieces trying to figure out if its "real".

"Expectation is the root of all heartache" WS.. Or so he said

"Expectation is the root of all heartache" WS


I read this quote a while ago and I was a bit ambivalent about it.


I guess a part of me didn't understand it at first. My thought process began with I have expectations for myself! If I don't have expectations how do I achieve goals?


Then I began to pounder what is the difference between goals and expectations?

• A goal is- the result or achievement toward which effort is directed;aim; end.

• Expectation is - the act or state of looking forward or anticipating.

Then I realized I need to spend more time mastering the english language. I have a problem communicating because I often do not understand exactly what is being said. 


Expectation is the root of all heartaches. Why because the act of looking forward to or anticipation is not going to help me achieve anything. Hard work, the grind, the failures, the dedication, getting back up. That is what moves me. So I finally understand the quote.
