I've been pondering this for quite sometime. I don't
really know what it means to live without expectation
but I think it's very wise. Not in the sense that
we should settle for less than what God's grace
has allowed us to deserve, but being aware and open to
anything that crosses our path of life. To not have
certain expectations of how our life turns out, completely
letting God control the journeys of our lives.
I starting practicing Yoga this past semester at school
and one of the biggest mantras, or thoughts that was
encouraged to think about was having no expectation
of your practice. At the beginning of our practice, we
thought to ourselves what we wanted out of it, then we
continued with our class, then at the end we remembered
what our intention was for our practice. Whether it was
met or not, we let it go.
Let it go. I am free of expectation. This was my mantra.
I had nothing to live up to, other than what I needed and
had in the moment. How can I apply this to my spiritual life?
Is it more positive or negative to live free of expectations?
How much more beneficial would life be if we were able to just
let things go? Not that we don't care, but to take it, recognize
that it happened, and let it go.
Just words and thoughts. The monkey is for your thoughtful pleasure.
