Sometimes our expectations are too
high. It’s easy to do. We want our
child to win that solo audition, or we give our husband something that we feel
is extremely special – only to find him casually smile and say “thank you”
instead of exclaiming and jumping to his feet to hug us for our efforts.
There are so many special moments and occasions in a
woman’s heart. We tend to put high
expectations on what the outcomes should be at those times. But that kind of expectation can put
the other individual in a “box” – whether it’s our child, spouse, or even a
friend.
You see, just because someone doesn’t act or respond how we feel that they
should, doesn’t mean that that moment or occasion didn’t mean something to
them. We all express and feel
things differently. Some people
feel more comfortable embracing something privately and quietly, while others
can be very verbal and emotional.
We just need to remember and remind
ourselves that the power of a moment can be felt in all sorts of degrees and
variations. So try not to feel
hurt if someone felt something differently than you’d imagined they would. Let the moment “be” what it’s intended
to be and it will have the potential of being just as special as you’d hoped it
would be.
