Living up to other's expectations .

It’s so much easier for someone  

To tell you how to live your life 

Than for them to live the life 

That they want to live. 

And when you do not meet 

Their expectations of you, 

It’s the perfect opportunity for them to criticize you, and 

By verbally and mentally putting you down 

They have a false sense of personal upliftment.

. 

They have expectations from us. 

People's expectations are not coming from a selfless place though it is disguised as so. 

How do we know? 

If the expectations they place on you make you perpetually unhappy , 

Then it is not coming from a selfless place. 

Avoid these expectations.
