The Power of expected nothing

What if we are living a life with no expectations?
I remember one of my birthdays, my lovely friends want to leave me the best birthday present ever, I was home studying and they were all out on my birthday when they came under my house and they all insist you must come today it’s your birthday we all waiting hurry up please you must come, and I just got to my friends house so excited expecting the best surprise ever and I am getting closer, they heard me coming to the door is half opened the closed the light oh my god excited it’s been hard week of studying, I love them all what did they bring me maybe a new shoes that I want maybe a soccer t-shirt for my favorite team, Suddenly one of them open the lights saying goodbye I have to go and the rest of them are playing cards and shooting like a very normal day and saying hey peter how are u ? , the smile goes away I am shocked and saying Hey everyone what’s up? , and oh my god they smiling so bad and I am like the one who pees on himself, of course, the next day I was laughing so loud and it was like 10 years ago and I never forget it, BTW the next week the did the actual surprise and bring me a flash disk.
It makes you happy
of course yes what if you don’t expect a raise in your work to be like 11% and it’s always 7 %, what if you are smiling and so happy that you achieved a very meaning goal for you and nobody care but you expect them to be happy to, what if you don’t expect a promotion when you are doing your best just do everything for you.
It makes your work better
think about this first day at work it has been a very long interview process you are so excited omg I will be so happy at this place and I expect everyone to be so nice and so friendly, and BOOM, your manager is off he is not even here everyone on your team is just talking to each other they didn’t even say hi , nobody cares but it’s okay the next day I will see what I expect, and BOOM the project is so legacy the process is so hard what the hell is that I expect it to be better just be careful be positive go and do your job nothing perfect if you work hard you will do it.
It makes your relationship perfect
think about it it’s been a long day you are working so hard you are doing multiple jobs, Saving money to get a better apartment you know it’s a tough time you need to save more you need to go faster, and BOOM your girlfriend calling you are not focusing with me you don’t think about me and she is so sad and you are so tired you cannot even talk to her , she don’t know what you are thinking about and she so mad and you are about to get mad because you expect her to be more understandable you don’t even have the power to debate, It’s okay It’s fine to take a deep press that is relationships that is women it happens to face the problem don’t expect her just make her a doubt but don’t lay into the expectations most of the girls are like that.
It makes you keep fighting
I always like this movie of rocky “Silvester Stallone ”
“Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done!”
― Sylvester Stallone, Rocky Balboa
so we are in a fight with life having low expectations or not expecting anything at all will help you move on don’t be so emotional just keep going always remember “It happens and It’s okay It’s fine ”.
Does it make you not excited and it’s always boring and no feeling?
of course not I am talking about more excitement when you take the experience of every single detail just deal with it and remember it’s a fight and it’s a special one don’t try to hit more try to keep moving on.
Final thought
I should be a nerd as my career drives me and that is a personal opinion and I am fine to be wrong and I am trying not to expect anything which is so hard but it feels like a tool for fighting.
