Not expected = not disappointed

Some things we don't hurt. Because of things.

It hurts because it's not what we thought.

Kam expects a beautiful picture that we draw ourselves and then hopes that others will come in and perform the role we directed in our head, but in reality...No one can read our script.

When they don't follow, we regret it. In fact, we extend our hearts to our expectations.

All of them.

Because in the end

What we can control is our actions, but what we expect from others is something we can never control.

All right...

And we will find that "not disappointed" it is us....

... Read moreจากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัว การไม่คาดหวังมากเกินไปช่วยให้ชีวิตและความสัมพันธ์ของเราผ่อนคลายขึ้นอย่างมาก ก่อนหน้านี้ ผมเคยวาดฝันและคาดหวังให้คนรอบข้างทำในแบบที่ใจเราคิดไว้ จนบางครั้งรู้สึกผิดหวังและเสียใจเมื่อนั้นไม่ได้เป็นไปตามที่เราต้องการ แต่พอเริ่มฝึกเปลี่ยนมุมมองโดยลดความคาดหวังลง และมุ่งเน้นควบคุมแค่การกระทำของตัวเองแทน ผมก็เริ่มรู้สึกปลอดโปร่งขึ้นมาก สิ่งสำคัญคือเราไม่สามารถควบคุมความรู้สึกหรือการกระทำของคนอื่นได้ แม้ว่าจะอยากให้พวกเขาเป็นไปตามบทที่เรากำหนดไว้ในหัวใจ แต่ไม่มีใครอ่านสคริปต์นั้นออกจริงๆ การเข้าใจข้อนี้ช่วยให้เราจะไม่ผูกมัดใจไว้กับความคาดหวังและลดความเจ็บปวดจากความผิดหวังลง ในช่วงเวลาที่รู้สึกท้อแท้ ผมมักจะเตือนตัวเองว่า “ไม่คาดหวัง=ไม่ผิดหวัง” ซึ่งเปรียบเสมือนการปลดปล่อยใจให้เป็นอิสระจากพันธนาการของความคาดหวัง และเปิดโอกาสให้ความสัมพันธ์ดำเนินไปในรูปแบบที่เป็นธรรมชาติที่สุด แนะนำให้ลองปรับแนวคิดนี้ดู โดยเริ่มจากตั้งเป้าหมายว่าจะทำสิ่งที่ควบคุมได้ คือ พฤติกรรมและการตอบสนองของตัวเอง ไม่ว่าจะกับเรื่องงานหรือความรัก เมื่อใจเราไม่หวังไปมากกว่าความเป็นจริง ความสุขก็จะเกิดขึ้นได้ง่ายและยืนยาวกว่าเดิม

My birth did NOT go as expected!
I just want to preface this by saying not all birth stories are bad, in fact quite the opposite! I know SO many people who have had positive experiences giving birth. My first birth did not go at all how we planned, it was traumatic and I think I will always remember what a scary time it was. Howev

The text 'Tipping Culture Is out of control!' overlays a stack of hundred-dollar bills tied with a white ribbon featuring gold lettering. A purple cosmetic tube stands beside the money, with yellow and white exclamation marks scattered across the image.
Tipping Should Be Optional, Not Expected
I genuinely believe businesses should pay their employees properly. A livable wage shouldn’t depend on whether or not a stranger decides to leave a few extra dollars. If I receive great service and want to leave a tip, I gladly will. But I shouldn’t feel pressured by a screen, a tip jar, or awkw

You are not stuck. You’re unsupported. There’s a difference. A lot of you are trying to heal in isolation because you think: “I should be able to do this with just me and God.” And yes — God is sufficient. But even Jesus walked with disciples. Even Paul wrote letters. Even growth in scriptu
