Years of being dependent on others for my needs,
has taught me not to expect others to do everything my way.
My husband made me aware that I was becoming extremely
demanding and controlling. That’s what expectations do,
and when left unfulfilled they can lead to disappointment,
frustration, and anger. My expectations of others were
unrealistic in relationship to what they were capable of
providing.
If you want less frustration in your life, change
your expectations and begin to accept what you receive from
others as a privilege and not a right. I now appreciate what
my husband does for me, rather than expecting him to do it
just because he is my husband. Although sometimes I still
slip-up, I am more at peace and experience less frustration
when I show a grateful attitude instead. And you know
what? I discovered that once I adopted this new attitude,
people love to please me and do things for me!
