expectations often create unnecessary disappointment, especially when the other person does not even know what we expect from them. Clear communication avoids so many misunderstandings.
I also prefer doing things myself whenever I can. Still, when someone gives their word, I believe it is reasonable to expect them to keep it. Forgetting once is human; repeatedly failing to follow through is something else.
Perhaps happiness comes not from having no expectations at all, but from knowing where to place them—and when to let them go. Cheers :)
Very nicely said @marcoteixeira. Yours sounded more beautiful than what I wrote and I agree 💯, and clear communication is so important, mainly speaking from experience because I have had feedback saying exactly that, that they can’t read my mind. My bad, my bad and I learn from it.
