“What I want is what I've not got,
And what I need Is all around me.
Reaching and
searching never stop”
Dave Matthews lyrics from “Jimi Thing”
Since the heart thing….I have found that having “no
expectations” is how I survive. Having no expectations serves me well in
creative artistic endeavors, medical tests and outcomes and most especially
personal relationships. Living without any
expectations of anything or anyone means I can NOT be disappointed. Any and every outcome was acceptable because
I refused to have any anticipation of how it could or should be. But there is a fine line between expectation
and wanting! I want lots and lots and
lots of things, money, health, loving relationships but expecting they will
happen is a different thing. The
constant mantra in my head is, the only things I will ever be able to change
are my own feelings. But maybe…just
maybe I could have a wild expectation of myself every now and again.
