The main cause for most of our sufferings, irritation, frustration, anger and depression is high expectations and low acceptance. Mind has a tendency to generate expectations and vouch for its fulfillment. People and situations are not bound by our expectations and hence do not reciprocate. We have the least tendency to accept life situations as they are and instead have the tendency to feel bad for shortfall in our expected results. Not only that, even when the results are as expected yet instead of being happy with what we have got we expect some more and lose the opportunity of being happy. Reduce expectations and Increase acceptance for a happier and joyful life.
