“The best things in life are unexpected – because there were no expectations.”
It was winter time when a bird migrated from one country to the other.
When it came to the new country, it had perceptions about the country and other birds. It thought it will have a tough time getting used to the new place and the new birds that it will have to live with.
All this came to an end when it saw actually what it thought to be a tough thing was very easy as all the birds were helpful. It had a good life and eventually that time came when it had to migrate from this place to other. It thought even though the place is new, the birds are from our world and hence it had expectations about the birds at least.
“Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing.” ~ Camille Pissarro
It kept on thinking about the previous birds that were new but still helped it to survive where as this place even though the birds were from its world were mean.
“We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aid, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn.” ~ Henry David Thoreau
I was thinking just like the bird how perceptions and expectations are different because it’s never what you think. It’s always what you experience and then make the perceptions and an expectation isn’t it?
But Can I say every time the perceptions and expectations have to be same?
“I hope for nothing. I fear nothing. I am free.” ~ Nikos Kazantzakis
Perceptions Change over time but expectations can be set as one deems fit
It is worth to think about this.
Thank you for sharing.

Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about learning how to dance in the rain.
Without expectation –
Have a great day!
and
Successful Life!

lovely blog and thought.
the fear of denial is more cruel than denial itself, coz it prevents us from taking risks and from meeting new and friendly people.

“it’s never what you think. It’s always what you experience”
very true, experiencing the perception in reality shows up different results than expected most of the times. Still, perception being a natural ingredient of a living creature cant be denied or suppressed. Just, we need to bridge the gap between perception and expectation as short as we can as perception is the root of all development.
I wish you my dear friend a Merry Christmas and Happy Always!
Wish you very Happy New Year dear
Have fun and take care. hugs
