Expectations

I expect you to behave this way and do this for me.How practical it is  ?? That 's what expectations do to us. Lets try one day without any expectations and then see how we feel . We feel a lot liberated , trust me !

We expect our family and friends to listen to us. Instead we can try not to change them and accept them the way they are .
We may not like some of their habits but constantly telling them wouldn't be a solution .We can remain stable and put across our points but if they do not change , we should not get disturbed .

The point I'm trying to make here is somebody s behavior should not make us disturbed . We can be detached observers.

As per Bhagvad Gita ,  Detachment does not mean inaction or renunciation of action. Detachment means renunciation of expectation of reward of action. Bhagvad Gita repeatedly emphasizes performance of duty without any expectation of reward. 

Lets try to practice it and remain  stable . Enjoy the work which you do and give it your 100% percent rather than having expectations and being disappointed. Another thing which can be practiced is being non judgmental . Lets stop that inner talk why this person is behaving this way etc etc , stop criticizing and wasting our energy on it . Instead focus on building yourself  and overcoming your weaknesses . More we talk and condemn about others , we tend to become like that.
