If you\u2019re human (you all are, right?), you\u2019ve likely had several dances with disappointment. And often those disappointments are because someone has let you down (or at least they\u2019ve let your expectations down) at one time or another.\n I know this may be difficult to hear, but the truth is that when you set expectations of others, you\u2019re always going to be let down, and you\u2019re never going to see the good in that person. So how do you get around this?\n A recent realization I\u2019ve made is that each person is meant to play a particular role. For example, maybe your friend, Sally, is hilarious, but she always bails on your get-togethers. But then you have another friend, who always has your back and can hold space for you when you\u2019re upset. See how they both fulfill different roles in your life?\n \u201cLet people show up in the roles that they are best at.\u201d\n Once you realize that all friends don\u2019t have to be ALL things you can free yourself and enjoy ALL of your relationships. Let go of your expectations!\n Have you ever connected with someone only to never hear from them again? Of course you question why that is (was it something I said?), but most times it has nothing to do with you! Sometimes it\u2019s just too much pressure for that person and they don\u2019t want to let you down.\n Go into all relationships with ZERO expectations. Don\u2019t hold them to anything and just let them be their authentic selves.\n \u201cRelease them. Free them. Free yourself.\u201d\n Instead of expecting, allow yourself to surprised.
