Unleashed Expectations

Expectations can be destructive! They can raise you where your dreams are sheltered or keep you with your fears in the deepest dark of self.

Our lives might be settled on fantasies and dreams or inside a restrained prison of worries, none of that can be real, as seen.

Expectations mostly come before disappointments, and if the period between the former is persistent enough to comprehend expectations as realities, the latter can be an overwhelming threat— the execution of hopes. Hopes become deceptions, the first step in a wasted journey.

When hopes are developed as faith, they become illusions; then, we get reluctant to move through the darkness of life, as illusions create many uncertainties. We should keep hope as a driving force while seeking knowledge to develop our faith. While faith is one destination, hope is the road to many.

Expectations can be destructive when they grow proportionally with unrestricted hopes or overvalued faith.

The journey is infinite! This trip might force you into desperation, where you feel lonely and abandoned, so you hope you can conclude your life. The deception of your faith suggests that you have achieved your purpose so that you can stop.

If you see yourself substantially, there is still a long way to go. Do not stop; keep looking for your best until you become the light, and the light becomes you.
